|
| 1. | One day when heaven was filled with |
| | His praises, |
| | One day when sin was black as could |
| | be, |
| | Jesus came forth to be born of a |
| | virgin- |
| | Dwelt among men, my example is He! |
| | Living, He loved me; dying, He |
| | saved me; |
| | Buried, He carried my sins far |
| | away; |
| | Rising, He justified freely forever: |
| | One day He's coming-O glorious |
| | day! |
| 2. | One day they led Him up Calvary's |
| | mountain, |
| | One day they nailed Him to die on the |
| | tree; |
| | Suffering anguish, despised and |
| | rejected; |
| | Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He. |
| 3. | One day they left Him alone in the |
| | garden, |
| | One day He rested, from suffering free; |
| | Angels came down o'er His tomb to |
| | keep vigil; |
| | Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He. |
| 4. | One day the grave could conceal Him |
| | no longer, |
| | One day the stone rolled away from the |
| | door; |
| | Then He arose, over death He had |
| | conquered; |
| | Now is ascended, my Lord evermore. |
| 5. | One day the trumpet will sound for His |
| | coming, |
| | One day the skies with His glory will |
| | shine; |
| | Wonderful day, my beloved ones |
| | bringing; |
| | Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine! |
