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.

’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 of divine

3.

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

4.

Now rest, my long divided heart

Fixed on this blissful centre, rest

Nor ever from thy Lord depart

With Him of every good possessed

5.

High heav’n, that heard the solemn vow

That vow renewed shall daily hear

Till in life’s latest hour I bow

And bless in death a bond so dear

Amen
