O Happy Day

Verse 1
O hap­py day, that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Sav­ior and my God!
Well may this glow­ing heart re­joice, (Ps. 13:5)
And tell its rap­tures all abroad.

Chorus
Happy day, hap­py day,
When Je­sus washed my sins away! (Ps. 51:2, Acts 22:16, I John 1:7, Rev. 1:5)
He taught me how to watch and pray, (Matthew 26:41, Mark 13:33, Mark 14:38, Luke 21:36)
And live re­joic­ing ev­ery day (Ps. 118:24, Phil. 4:4, I Thess. 5:16)
Happy day, hap­py day,
When Je­sus washed my sins away. (Ps. 51:2, Acts 22:16, I John 1:7, Rev. 1:5)

Verse 2
O hap­py bond, that seals my vows
To Him who mer­its all my love!
Let cheer­ful an­thems fill His house, (Ps. 100:4)
While to that sac­red shrine I move.

Verse 3
’Tis done: the great trans­act­ion’s done:
I am the Lord’s and He is mine; (Song of Solomon 2:16, Song of Solomon 6:3, Isa. 43:1, Rom. 14:8)
He drew me, and I fol­lowed on; (Jer. 31:3, John 6:44)
Charmed to con­fess the voice di­vine.

Verse 4
Now rest my long di­vid­ed heart, (Ps. 86:11)
Fixed on this bliss­ful cen­ter, rest;
With ash­es who would grudge to part (Isa. 61:3)
When called on an­gels’ bread to feast? (Ps. 78:25)

Verse 5
High Heav­en, 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.
