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 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!

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 Sav­ior 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 glo­ries will shine;

Wonderful day

my be­lov­èd ones bring­ing;

Glorious Sav­ior

this Je­sus is mine!
