O 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.
Chorus:
Happy day! happy day!
When Jesus washed my sins away;
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing ever 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.
Now rest, my long-divided heart,
Fixed on that blessed center, rest:
Nor ever from thy Lord depart,
With Him of every good possessed.
