All Believer Hymn Book
Hymn 564 HEAVEN CAME DOWN Lyrics
1. 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!
Chorus:
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul,
When at the cross the Saviour made me whole
My sins were washed away, And my nigh 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 through 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 believe; Riches eternal
And blessings supernal,
From His precious hand I received.
