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.
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 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!
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 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!
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 the trumpet will sound for His coming, One day the skies with His glories will shine; Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing; Glorious Saviour, this Jesus is mine!
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!
