1 O happy day, that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell Thy goodness all abroad.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray
And live rejoicing ev'ryday;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
2 O happy bond, that seals my vows
To Him who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill His house,
While to His sacred throne I move.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray
And live rejoicing ev'ryday;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
3 'Tis done, this 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.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray
And live rejoicing ev'ryday;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
4 Now rest, my long-divided heart;
Fixed on this blissful centre, rest;
Not ever from thy Lord depart,
With Him of every good possessed.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray
And live rejoicing ev'ryday;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
