One by one, one by one Jesus, the Father’s Beloved Son One by one, one by one From the beginning said: Thy will be done Jesus Christ came to earth to fulfill God’s plan For He alone could atone as Savior of man The Lord blessed and beckoned them: Come unto me And willingly sacrificed to set us free One by one, one by one He suffered for us and victory won One by one, one by one We marvel at all His love has done One by one One by one, one by one Multitudes gathered and saw Him come One by one, one by one Each heard a voice declare: Behold My Son Jesus Christ came and stood in the midst of them They fell to the earth in great reverence for Him The Lord bid: Arise, and come forth unto me With hands they did feel and with eyes they did see One by one, one by one Each knew and bore record, He is our Lord One by one, one by one They cried Hosanna with one accord One by one One by one, one by one Christ looked around Him and saw their tears One by one, one by one In His compassion, He calmed their fears Jesus Christ healed each one brought forth unto Him Then He blessed each precious child and prayed for them The angels descended from heaven above Encircling those little ones; each felt His love One by one, one by one He intercedes for each daughter and son One by one, one by one Strength from His grace gives us power to become One by one
