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 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 that sacred shrine I move. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] 4 Now rest, my long-divided heart, Fixed on this blissful center, rest, Nor ever from my Lord depart, With Him of every good possessed. [Refrain]
