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!
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!
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 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 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 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!
One day the skies with His glory will shine;
Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing;
Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!

Dear Elizabeth, if you told us what you mean by SS&S, someone could help you. I googled it and found nothing useful. What a chorus! What a terse and precise summary of the Good News. I touches my heart and lifts it up.

This was my father's favorite hymn. He was born in 1905. He didn't surrender to Jesus until he was in his late twenties. He lived to be 96 and this was *always* his favorite hymn because, he said, "It tells the whole gospel story from beginning to end."

We sang this hymn song at AIC KITENGELA, Kenya and it was such beautiful. Thank you!

Beautiful hymn, sounds heavenly and true.
I first heard is more than a decade ago when I was in the Baptist church.
It kept ringing on heart heart yesterday after I watched the Memorial service for Ravi Zacharias.

This is a summary of all that the Lord has done for us-what a full redemption! One day He will come, then our salvation will be complete- the redemption of our bodies. Lord we look forward to that Day. 1Cor15:14-19

I remember singing this song in church when I was small. Some people associate it with Easter, but on the contrary it is for ALL year, every day. It's God's message of redemption through His Son, wrapped up very neatly.... if we don't know how to witness to others, just sing them this song!
I learnt this song 45 years ago as a kid and I still sing it daily.
