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!

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 to die on the tree;

Buried, he carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever:
One day He's coming--O glorious day!

3. One day they left Him alone in the garden,
One day he rested, from suffering free;

Buried, he carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever:
One day He's coming--O glorious day!

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!

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!

5. One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,
One day the skies with His glories will shine,
Wonderful day, my beloved One bringing;
Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!

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!
