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. 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. My Lord has garments so wondrous fine, And myrrh their texture fills; Its fragrance reached to this heart of mine With joy my being thrills. Out of the ivory palaces, Into a world of woe, Only His great eternal love Made my Savior go. In garments glorious He will come, To open wide the door; And I shall enter my heav'nly home, To dwell forevermore. Out of the ivory palaces, Into a world of woe, Only His great eternal love Only His great eternal love Made my Savior go Out of the ivory palaces, Into a world of woe, Only His great eternal love Made my Savior go. Made my Savior go.
