Happy Day

Verse 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.

Chorus

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!

Verse 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.

Verse 3

'Tis done, the great transaction's done; I am my Lord's and He is mine; He drew me and I followed on, Rejoiced to own the call divine.

Verse 4

Now rest, my long-divided heart, Fixed on this blissful center, rest; Here have I found a nobler part, Here heavenly pleasures fill my breast.

Verse 5

High heaven that hears 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.
