Of the Christ Who died for me;
How He left His home in glory
For the cross of Calvary.
Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me,
Of the Christ Who died for me,
Sing it with the saints in glory,
Sing it with the saints in glory,
Gathered by the crystal sea (the chrystal sea).
Gathered by the crystal sea.
Found the sheep that went astray,
Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way.
Faint was I from many a fall,
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,
But He freed me from them all.
Sorrow’s path I often tread,
But His presence still is with me;
By His guiding hand I’m led.
Rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He’ll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet.
