About this Hymn
This hymn includes the whole gospel story and is often sung on Easter Sunday. Each verse then breaks down one aspect of Jesus' life. It also inspired the modern worship song "Glorious Day," as performed originally by Casting Crowns.
Living, he loved me;
Dying, he saved me;
Buried, he carried my sin far away;
Rising, he justified freely forever;
One day he's coming—oh, glorious day.
Living, he loved me;
Dying, he saved me;
Buried, he carried my sin far away;
Rising, he justified freely forever;
One day he's coming—oh, glorious day.
Lyrics
Verse 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!
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— oh, glorious day!
Verse 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!
Verse 3
One day they left him alone in the garden, one day he rested, from suffering free; angels came down o'er his tomb to keep vigil; hope of the hopeless, my Savior is he!
Verse 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!
Verse 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!
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!
