62. O what a wonderful, wonderful day, Day I will
O what a wonderful, wonderful day, Day I will never forget;
After I’d wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Saviour 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!
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!
When at the cross the Saviour made me whole;
My sins were washed away, And my night was turned to day,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!
2 Born of the spirit with life from above; Into God’s family divine,
Justified fully thro’ 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.
3 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.
