194 O Happy Day
O happy day that fixed my choice On Thee, my Saviour 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 ev'ry day; Happy day, Happy day, When Jesus washed my sins away! 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. (Chorus) 'Tis done, the great transaction's done, I am the Lord's, and He is mine; He drew me, and I followed on, Charmed to confess the voice divine. (Chorus) Now rest, my long-divided heart, Fixed on this blissful center rest; Nor never from the Lord depart, With Him of ev'ry good possessed. (Chorus) |
