Wilbur Chapman Meter: 11.10.11.10 with refrain Appears in 170 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 4:4 First Line: One day when heaven was filled with his praises Refrain First Line: Living, he loved me; dying he saved me Lyrics: 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 us, 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) 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! (Refrain) 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) 5 One day the trumpet will sound for his coming, one day the skies with his glories will shine; wonderful day, my belovèd ones bringing; glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!

Great Father of glory, how rich is thy grace!

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Galatians 4:5 Lyrics: 1 Great Father of glory, how rich is thy grace! What wonderful love is displayed in thy face! In Jesus thy image with brightness we view, And hope to be formed to that likeness anew. 2 By favour adopted, thy sons we appear, And led by thy Spirit, we boldly draw near; In Jesus belovèd, and washed in his blood, With hope we adore at the footstool of God. 3 The man who is blessèd with hope in the cross, Is freed from the bondage of guilt and the curse; The blood of his Surety by faith he reviews, While hope in that fountain his spirit renews. 4 The world knows us not; but in this we rejoice, To God we’re no strangers, but objects of choice. His love from eternity gave us a home, Where now we are hoping in safety to come. 5 Arrayed in obedience, all wrought by the Lamb, By Christ our Jehovah, the ancient I AM; With boldness we journey, while Christ leads us on, And hope soon in glory to praise the Three-One.
