248. Oh Happy Day That Fixed My Choice

L.M.
1
Oh 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.
 
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.

’Tis done, the great transaction’s done;
 
I am my Lord’s, and He is mine;
 
He drew me, and I followed on,
 
Glad to confess the One divine.
3
Now rest, my long-divided heart,
 
Fixed on that blessed center, rest:
 
Nor ever from thy Lord depart,
 
With Him of every good possessed.
