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!

 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.

 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.

 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.

 5  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 Savior, this Jesus is mine!
