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

Love Found a Way

Hymn lyrics by Avis M. Christiansen,
Music by Harry D. Loes
Verse 1
  • Wonderful love that rescued me,
  • Sunk deep in sin,
  • Guilty and vile as I could be—
  • No hope within;
  • When every ray of light had fled,
  • O glorious day!
  • Raising my soul from out the dead,
  • Love found a way.
Chorus
  • Love found a way, to redeem my soul,
  • Love found a way, that could make me whole.
  • Love sent my Lord to the cross of shame,
  • Love found a way, O praise His holy Name!
Verse 2
  • Love brought my Savior here to die
  • On Calvary,
  • For such a sinful wretch as I,
  • How can it be?
  • Love bridged the gulf ’twixt me and Heav’n,
  • Taught me to pray,
  • I am redeemed, set free, forgiv’n,
  • Love found a way.
Chorus
Verse 3
  • Love opened wide the gates of light
  • To Heav’n’s domain,
  • Where in eternal pow’r and might
  • Jesus shall reign.
  • Love lifted me from depths of woe
  • To endless day,
  • There was no help in earth below;
  • Love found a way.
Chorus
