1 O happy day, that stays my choice
On Thee, my Saviour 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 me how to watch and pray
And live rejoicing every 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 His sacred throne I move. Refrain
3 'Tis done, the great tranaction's done'br>I am my Lord's and he is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on,
Charmed to confess the voice divine. Refrain
4 Now rest, my long-divided heart,
Fix'd on this blissful center, rest;
Nor ever from my Lord depart,
With Him of ev'ry good possessed. Refrain
