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.
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.
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.
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!

This song is the essence of Easter. These words are rich and speak loudly to my heart. It's amazing to me that a song written in 1910, over 100 years ago, still weighs deeply to the modern heart, is thought provoking and feeds the soul within.
To me this is the Easter hymn supreme, with the glorious majesty of our God being praised through the paraphrase of the gospel. Hallelujah, what a Saviour!

For some reason, this hymn has been continuously on my mind for the last week. What a wonderful reminder of the complete gospel message as sung in the chorus. We complicate what is truly a simple though breathtaking message!

How Amazing, How Wonderful... Awakened thru the nite with this song so clear on my mind... not sung recently but brought to me by the Holy Spirit... A song so fitting for the Easter season & indeed the outline for a service this week... Thank You, LORD! You are awesome!

The words in this hymn represent what Christianity is all about. Without the love of God and His son Jesus, I know that my life would be futile. The Lord brought this hymn to mind during my quiet time this morning. I had not sung it for years and I am feeling so blessed. Thank You Father!

I love this hymn especially the chorus. Our Senior Adult Choir in Beaumont, TX. sang this for years at the assisted living, nursing, and hospice facilities before I moved. The residents loved hearing the truth of the words!!

This is an excellent hymn which suit daily worship as well as breaking of bread meeting on Sunday, the Lord's day and also great hymn for gospel outreach. The depth of this hymn is non-comparable with any modern hymns. Thank you.

I go to a wonderful church that blends the old hymns with newer ones. However, my favorites are the old ones, the ones I learned to love when I was a babe in Christ. In my daily devotion, I like to sing them. In my home, alone and with no other distractions, I can sing to the Lord and really "belt 'em out!"

Reading comments I wonder why people stay in a church that doesn't sing the hymns. We have let the camel (Satan) stick his nose in the tent, now he is completely in and Godly people are out. Kick out the drums, the contemporary feel-good, syrupy garbage! I don't let ANY songs in our church that are not in the hymnal - and that includes specials!!
Love the Gospel in this hymn!

I so needed to hear this song today. Thanks for being here. The new version with the same words is great, but the hymn is still the best. Brings tears of joy. Happy Easter 2017.
