O! what a wonderful, wonderful day

1	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!

	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 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.

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.
