Lyics

THIS happy day has fixed their choice,

On Christ, their Saviour and their Lord;

Well may their glowing hearts rejoice,

And tell the glories of his word.



Oh, happy bond, that seals their vows,

To him that merits all their love!

Let cheerful anthems fill the house,

While to his altar now they move.



'Tis done-the great transaction's done,

They are the Lord's-the Lord is ours;

Rejoice in Christ, we now are one:

Rejoice to feel his heavenly powers.



Glory to God in endless strains;

Through endless ages still be given;

Lo! Christ the great Messiah reigns,

To bless our souls and grant us heaven.
