LyicsO HAPPY day that fix'd my choice
On Thee, my Saviour and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.--CHO.
Chorus.--Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus wash'd my sins away;
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus wash'd my sins away.
O happy bond, that seals my vows
To Him who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill His house,
While to that sacred shrine I move.--CHO.
'Tis done; the great transaction's done,
I am my Lord's and He is mine;
He drew me, and I follow'd on,
Charm'd to confess the voice divine.--CHO.
Now rest, my long divided heart!
Fix'd on this blissful center, rest;
Here have I found a nobler part,
Here heav'nly pleasures fill my breast.--CHO.
