Hymn Lyrics

PLEASE NOTE: Not all verses may be sung and words may vary in the particular hymn presentation.

Singing I Go
Words: Eliza Edmunds Hewitt
Music: Singing I Go | William James Kirkpatrick
1. The trusting heart to Jesus clings,
Nor any ill forebodes,
But at the cross of Calv’ry, sings,
Praise God for lifted loads!

2. The passing days bring many cares,
Fear not, I hear Him say,
And when my fears are turned to prayers,
The burdens slip away.

3. He tells me of my Father’s love,
And never slumb’ring eye,
My everlasting King above
Will all my needs supply.

4. When to the throne of grace I flee,
I find the promise true,
The mighty arms upholding me
Will bear my burdens too.


Refrain:
Singing I go along life’s road,
Praising the Lord, praising the Lord,
Singing I go along life’s road,
For Jesus has lifted my load.
I Will Sing the Wondrous Story
Words: Francis Harold Rowley (1854–1952)
Music: Hyfrydol | Rowland Huw Prichard (1811–1887)
1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Days of darkness still come o’er me,
Sorrow’s path I often tread,
But the Savior still is with me;
By His hand I’m safely led.

5. 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.

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.
