O what a wonderful, wonderful day, day I will never forget;
After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Savior I met.
O what a tender, compassionate friend, He met the need of my heart;
Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling, He made all the darkness depart.
Chorus
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, (filled my soul)
When at the cross the Savior made me whole; (made me whole)
My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul! (filled my soul)
Born of the Spirit with life from above into God's family divine,
Justified fully thru Calvary's love, O what a standing is mine!
And the transaction so quickly was made, when as a sinner I came,
Took of the offer, of grace He did proffer, He saved me, O praise His dear name!
Chorus
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, (filled my soul)
When at the cross the Savior made me whole; (made me whole)
My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul! (filled my soul)
Now I've a hope that will surely endure after the passing of time;
I have a future in heaven for sure there in those mansions sublime.
And it's because of that wonderful day, when at the cross I believed;
Riches eternal and blessings supernal, from His precious hand I received.
Chorus
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, (filled my soul)
When at the cross the Savior made me whole; (made me whole)
My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul! (filled my soul)
The last verse looks to be missing a line.
ReplyDeleteBut it still brought a tear to my eye to sing this old song again, praise the Lord.
the last line of the 2nd chorus is actually the first line of the send verse. pls update it.

As per previous anonymous comment, the last line of the 2nd chorus is in fact the first line of the last verse but nobody has corrected it !!

ReplyDeleteJustified fully thro' Calvary's love, oh what a standing is mine!
And the transaction so quickly was made
When as a sinner I came
Took of the offer of grace He did proffer
He saved me, oh praise His dear Name!
Now I've a hope that will surely endure, after the passing of time
I have a future in heaven for sure, there in those mansions sublime
And it's because of that wonderful day
When at the cross I believed
Riches eternal and blessings supernal from His precious Hands I received!
Glad we could all work it out, such a beautiful old hymn
