One day when heaven was filled with His praises

This is a beautiful hymn that I loved to hear my Papa sing for many years, now he knows what this song means in Heaven.

I love this hymm....it touches my heart.... it is awesome.

This will always remind me of the after church rallies at Rshton Gospel Hall,

with Les Johnson leading, and his brother Melvyn playing the piano. Blessed happy times.

I am now 89 years of age. The chorus of this hymn is the first chorus that I ever heard when I was invited to a young people's Bible class at the age of 14 years. It was one of the links that led to my conversion the following year. The bible class was at a brethren chapel called Ley Street Gospel Hall, Ilford, on the outskirts of London and was led by a brother by the name of Dr. Fred Filby.

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!!!!!

Preparing to lead a service...what wonderful words of comfort; we can set aside all our own worries and concerns and focus on the Lord Jesus and other things grow strangely dim in the light of what God has done for us in Christ Jesus. these words were penned by an evangelist who had just lost his second wife many years ago; inspirational

If you read this I'd love to catch up.

I do not feel that "modernizing" these songs takes away from the message in any way shape or form. I grew up in a hymn singing church where this song was sung, but I did not recognize the words to this hymn when I heard it as Casting Crown's O Glorious Day! I find the newer version to be as another poster commented a beautiful picture of the redeeming love of Christ Jesus. The reason these songs are modernized, in my opinion, is because the truth of them still rings true, but the style or sound of the music isn't as pleasing to a young year. When the same song can be put to music that moves the modern day listener I think a beautiful piece of art, that is pleasing to God, has taken shape.

I came to know the Lord 50 years ago and haven't sang this song since those early years back in the sixties. Am going through a really difficult time right now and the Lord just brought it back to mind and I found myself singing it again- What a blessing it is to be reminded that God never changes, His message is as fresh as they day we first hear it!

A lovely reminder of our Lord's sacrifice and victory as I prepare my Good Friday sermon to be preached in Setswana to a congregation of Batswana, Bakalanga, Bayei and Dxana people. The Gospel is truly for every people, tribe, nation and tongue and is as timeless as the Lord Himself! One day He is coming... O glorious day!

This hymn displays the glorious grace of God to a mere sinner like me!
