Sunday Praise

Father in Heaven, we praise you for your mighty works.

We praise you for your goodness.

We praise you for your righteousness.

We praise you for your power and majesty.

We praise you for your justice.

We praise you for your mercy.

We praise you for your grace.

We praise you for your love manifested in our wonderful Savior.

We praise you for His birth, death, burial, resurrection, life, and soon return.

One Day
Words: J. Wilbur Chapman, D.D. 1908

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!

Refrain:

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 to die on the tree;
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected:
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He!

Refrain

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!

3. One day they left Him alone in the garden,
One day He rested, from suffering free;
Angels came down over His tomb to keep vigil;
Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He!

Refrain

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!

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!

Refrain

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!

Refrain

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!

Welcome back, stranger. Hadn't posted in a while.

Love the song--as always--you have a knack for picking the great old ones.

I haven't heard this hymn in a long time. Before we went to contemporary worship in our church a few years ago we sang it on occasion. Thanks for the memory and the tune in my mind. :)

I love your Sunday posts.

That is truly a magnificent hymn. I get chills every time I hear it sung. The theology in it builds to a crescendo focused upon the return of our Lord. It just doesn't get any better.

Hi Joe,
God is so good to us. When I think of who He is... what He's done on our behalf... I am struck afresh with awe.

Thanks for sharing Joe.
