Heaven Came Down And Glory Filled My Soul by John W. Peterson — Lyrics

VERSE 1 O what a wonderful, wonderful dayDay I will never forget; After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Savior I met. O what a tender, compassionate friendHe met the need of my heart; Shadows dispelling, With joy I am telling, He made all the darkness depart! VERSE 2 Born of the Spirit with life from above Into God's fam'ly 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 profferHe saved me, O praise His dear name!

About Heaven Came Down And Glory Filled My Soul

"Heaven Came Down and Glory Filled My Soul" is a bright, triumphant hymn of salvation and personal testimony. The verses recount the joy of stepping out of darkness and into grace, building up to a lively, unforgettable refrain. For a choir, the piece offers a wonderful opportunity to sing with genuine gladness, especially in the refrain where the lower voices echo the melody with a rhythmic, joyful response.

We often hear this sung as a recessional hymn or during joyful celebrations in the parish. Its upbeat tempo and confident lyrics send the congregation out into the world with a lifted spirit. The message is simple but profound: the moment we truly encounter Christ, the shadows dispel and our night is turned to day.
