211. Oh, happy day that fix'd my choice

1 Oh, 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.

2 Oh, happy bond that seals my vows
To Him who merits all my love!
I'll praise Him in His sacred house,
And gladly to His altar move.

3 Now with His saints I choose my part;
With them I come a welcome guest;
Here rest, my once divided heart;
In Him, thy blissful portion, rest.

4 '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.

5 High heaven, that heard the solemn vow,
That vow renew'd shall daily hear,
Till, call'd at last from all below,
I bless in death a bond so dear.
