Alangkah indahnya hari itu, hari yang tak kulupa;

Setelah ku keliling dalam g’lap, ku dapat Jurus’lamat.

Betapa bahagia hatiku, ku dapat yang ku rindu;

Kesusahan dan keg’lapan hilang diganti kesukacitaan.

O what a wonderful, wonderful day, day I will never forget;

After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Savior 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!

Born of the Spirit with life from above, into God's family 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 proffer, He saved me, O praise His dear name!

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 believed;

Riches eternal and blessings supernal, from His precious hand I received.
