<p>O happy day, that fixed my choice<br>
|
|
On Thee, my Savior and my God!<br>
|
|
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,<br>
|
|
And tell its raptures all abroad.</p>

<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>

<p class="refrain">Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away!<br>
|
|
He taught me how to watch and pray, and live rejoicing every day<br>
|
|
Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away.</p>
|
|
<p>O happy bond, that seals my vows<br>
|
|
To Him Who merits all my love!<br>
|
|
Let cheerful anthems fill His house,<br>
|
|
While to that sacred shrine I move.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>It’s done: the great transaction’s done!<br>
|
|
I am the Lord’s and He is mine;<br>
|
|
He drew me and I followed on;<br>
|
|
Charmed to confess the voice divine.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Now rest, my long divided heart,<br>
|
|
Fixed on this blissful center, rest.<br>
|
|
Here have I found a nobler part;<br>
|
|
Here heavenly pleasures fill my breast.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>High heaven, that heard the solemn vow,<br>
|
|
That vow renewed shall daily hear,<br>
|
|
Till in life’s latest hour I bow<br>
|
|
And bless in death a bond so dear.</p>
