ONE DAY WHEN HEAVEN

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 for ever:

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 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! ......
