O HAPPY DAY, THAT FIXED MY CHOICE

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




O 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




'This 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 divine




Now rest, my long-divided heart,

Fixed on this blissful centre, rest:

Nor ever from thy Lord depart,

With Him of every good possessed.




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
