One Day

Hymn lyrics by J. Wilbur Chapman,
Music by Charles H. Marsh

Verse 1

• 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!

Chorus

• 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!

Verse 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!

Chorus

Verse 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!

Chorus

Verse 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!

Chorus

Verse 5

• 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 Savior, this Jesus is mine!

Chorus
