Terrian + Chris Tomlin - Day Of All Days Lyrics

“Day of All Days” celebrates the birth of Jesus through a compact sequence of titles and invitations to worship. Its repeated contrasts—day and night, king and light—place the nativity at the center of creation’s praise. The mention of Bethlehem anchors the song in the Gospel account, while “Come let the earth adore” broadens the response from a private devotion to worldwide adoration. Repetition gives the lyric the character of a simple congregational proclamation rather than a detailed retelling of the Christmas story.

The song’s language closely echoes biblical descriptions of Christ’s birth and identity. Luke 2 presents the birth as good news for all people and names the child as Savior, Messiah, and Lord, while Matthew 2 records worship offered to Jesus in Bethlehem. Calling him light also recalls the New Testament’s portrayal of Christ as light entering darkness. Together, these images make the song a Christmas confession focused on who Jesus is and the worship his coming calls forth.
