I will sing the wondrous story

"I Will Sing the Wondrous Story" is a beloved hymn of personal testimony and quiet confidence. The verses walk us through a journey of redemption—from being lost and bruised to finding healing and guidance in Christ. Because the verses are arranged to be sung in unison, it gives the choir a chance to really focus on the storytelling, letting the congregation hear every word clearly.

When we reach the refrain, the arrangement opens up into full harmony with an optional soaring descant for the sopranos. The text shifts from a personal reflection to a joyful, forward-looking promise: singing with the saints in glory. It is a wonderful choice for a thanksgiving or recessional hymn, leaving everyone with a sense of hope and a reminder of the ultimate destination by the crystal sea.
