44. One Day.

1 One day when Heaven was fill'd with His praises,
One day when sin was as black as could be,
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin,
Lived, loved and labored--my Teacher 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!

2 One day they led Him up Calvary's mountain,
One day they nailed Him for me on the tree;
Wonderful, Counsellor they had acclaim'd him,
Now He is Jesus--my Jesus is He. [Chorus]

3 One day they left Him alone in the garden,
One day He rested from suffering free;
Angels came down them to keep sacred vigil;
Weighted with sins, my Redeemer is He. [Chorus]

4 One day when fullness of time was fast dawning,
One day the stone moved away from the door;
Then He arose, over death He had conquered,
Now He's ascended, my Lord evermore. [Chorus]

5 One day He's coming, for Him I am longing,
One day the skies with His glory will shine;
Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing;
Hope of the hopeless, this Jesus is mine. [Chorus]
