Verse 1

Oh! What a wonderful, wonderful day,

Day I will never forget;

After I’d wandered in darkness away,

Jesus my Saviour I met.

Oh! 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!

Verse 2

Born of the Spirit with life from above,

Into God’s family divine;

Justified fully through 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 hand I received.
