O HAPPY DAY
1. O happy day that
fixed my choice
On Thee, my Savior
and my God!
Well may this
glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its
raptures all abroad.
Refrain
Happy day, happy
day,
When Jesus washed
my sins away!
He taught how to
watch and pray,
And live rejoicing
ev'ry day;
Happy day, happy
day,
When Jesus washed
my sins away!
2. O happy bond, that
seals my vows
To Him who merits
all my love!
Let cheerful
anthems fill His house,
While to that
sacred shrine I move.
3. 'Tis done: the
great transaction's done;
I am my Lord's and
He is mine;
He drew me, and I
followed on,
Charmed to confess
the voice divine.
4. Now rest, my
long-divided heart;
Fixed on this
blissful center, rest;
Nor ever from my
Lord depart,
With Him of ev'ry
good possessed.
5. High Heav'n that
hears the solemn vow,
That vow renew'd
shall daily hear,
Till in life's
latest hour I bow,
And bless, in
death, a bond so dear.
