<td><em>Words:</em> <a href="./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_r_o_rowley_fh.html" target="_blank">Francis Harold Rowley</a>, 1886:
|

<blockquote>
|
|
<p>I was minister of the First Baptist Church of North Adams, Massachusetts, in 1886. The church and the community were experiencing a period of unusual interest in religious matters, and I was assisted by a remarkable young singer named <a href="./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_b_i_bilhorn_pp.html" target="_blank">Peter Bilhorn</a>. One night after the close of the service he said, “Why don’t you write a hymn for me to set to music?”
|
|
During the night these verses came to me. Bilhorn provided the music.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>The original lyrics began, “Can’t you sing the wondrous story…” <a href="./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_s_a_sankey_id.html" target="_new">Ira Sankey</a> changed them before publishing the song in the 1887 edition of his <em>Sacred Songs and Solos</em>.</p>

<p>I will sing the wondrous story<br>
|
|
Of the Christ who died for me.<br>
|
|
How He left His home in glory<br>
|
|
For the cross of Calvary.</p>

<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story<br>
|
|
Of the Christ Who died for me,<br>
|
|
Sing it with the saints in glory,<br>
|
|
Gathered by the crystal sea.</p>
|
|
<p>I was lost, but Jesus found me,<br>
|
|
Found the sheep that went astray,<br>
|
|
Threw His loving arms around me,<br>
|
|
Drew me back into His way.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>I was bruised, but Jesus healed me,<br>
|
|
Faint was I from many a fall,<br>
|
|
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,<br>
|
|
But He freed me from them all.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Days of darkness still come o’er me,<br>
|
|
Sorrow’s path I often tread,<br>
|
|
But His presence still is with me;<br>
|
|
By His guiding hand I’m led.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>He will keep me till the river<br>
|
|
Rolls its waters at my feet;<br>
|
|
Then He’ll bear me safely over,<br>
|
|
Where the loved ones I shall meet.</p>
