One day when heaven was filled with His praises

This hymn is the gospel of our Lord Jesus. He saved me 46 years ago. Praise the Lord.

What a wonderful Savior! What a beautiful tribute to and reminder of what He did for us.

Re: Sept 2008 comments. Now that you are four years older, wouldn't you rather just praise Jesus, instead of picking at nits?

A beautiful song that reflects God everlasting love throughout his life.

I love this song, old or new version. The writer of the lyrics did not write the music. I like to picture the writers of old getting to take a peek from heaven and hearing their original lyrics being sung to a brand new tune and asking what power point is as they see their words they penned long ago still ringing the truth decades later. No song tells the gospel message from start to finish like this one. No beauty is lost in singing it old style or new. We sang it this morning on Easter and people that had never heard the old version (since they had become Christians recently) were singing to the Lord at the top of their lungs. I bet the writer of this song J Wilbur Chapman got to see!

This song has haunted me since I heard it at the Good Friday service yesterday. I did not recognize it because it was sung with the contemporary music. Finding the original tune has moved me deeply because it was a beloved hymn I grew up with. I often wonder if modernizing a classic hymn does not take away some of its original beauty.

As we approach Easter this song puts the amazing sacrifice of our Lord Jesus into context.

This is the original verion as written by J. Wilbur Chapman and Charles H.Marsh copyrighted in 1910. In the present contemporary gospel music the song is called "Glorious Day"

One of my most favorite hymns of all time. And, simply, one of the greatest - the tune as well as lyrics. Thank you.

This reminds me of what the Lord did for us

It's an old favourite, and there is much to praise it for.

However I've recently looked again at Rm. 4:25. The first dia accusative case must mean 'because of our sins', not 'to achieve our sins'. If Gk. dia accusative case carries the same meaning both times (this is moot), then Paul's thought was that his rising combined with his death to justify us, but rather that his rising showed us that justification had now been made available by his death. The ISV carries this proof of achievement idea, though I still suspect the song is right.
