What a day, when I met Christ my savior And He took away my sin and shame What a day, when Jesus paid my ransom And He placed His Spirit deep within While the world prepares to worship Satan And the nations faint and fall I will rest and hope in Jesus' promise And will rise to meet Him at His calt Christ the Lord is still my God and Savior Though my youth has slowly passed away And He's still my constant guide and helper Though I've often sinned and gone astray Though the coming years may bring me pain and sorrow He will keep me all the way And I shall live to see His Holy city To shout and sing, "O Savior what a day!"
