Page 537 I will sing because
1. I’m Astonished vs 6
I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me;
How He left His home in glory
For the cross of Calvary.
John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own
will, but the will of him that sent me.
1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin
not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous:2 And he is the propitiation for our
sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole
world.
2. I’m Atoned vs 8
I was lost, but Jesus found me,
Found the sheep that went astray,
Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way.
Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own
blood he entered in once into the holy place, having
obtained eternal redemption [for us].
Heb 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people
with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
3. I’m Alleaved vs 9
I was bruised, but Jesus healed me,
Faint was I from many a fall,
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,
But He freed me from them all.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made
me free from the law of sin and death.
Ps 141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I
withal escape.
Prov 12:21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked
shall be filled with mischief.
4. I’m Advised vs 10
Days of darkness still come o’er me,
Sorrow’s path I often tread,
But His presence still is with me;
By His guiding hand I’m led.
Prov 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he
shall be holden with the cords of his sins. 23 He shall die
without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall
go astray.
5. I’m Awarded vs 11
He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He’ll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet.
Rom 8:17a And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs
with Christ;
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on
his name. 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Refrain:
Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me,
Sing it with the saints in glory,
Gathered by the crystal sea.
I John 3: 1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed
upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:
therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew
him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it
doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that,
when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall
see him as he is.
