One Day

One day when heaven

Was filled with His praises,

One day when sin

Was as black as could be,

Jesus came forth

To be born of a virgin -

Dwelt amongst 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

-Oh, glorious day!

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!

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 Saviour is He!

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!

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 Saviour,

This Jesus is mine!
