The Gospel Awakening ‎#12

12. Happy Day

1. O happy day that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Saviour, 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 ev'ry day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away.

2. 'Tis done, the great transaction's done;
I am my Lord's, and He is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on,
Charm'd to confess the voice divine.
Happy day, Happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away;
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing ev'ry day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away.

3. Now rest, my long divided heart;
Fixed on this blissful center, rest;
Nor ever from Thy Lord depart:
With Him of every good possess'd.
Happy day, Happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away;
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing ev'ry day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away.

4. High heav'n, that heard the solemn vow,
That vow renewed shall daily hear,
Till in life's latest hour I bow,
And bless in death a bond so dear.
Happy day, Happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away;
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing ev'ry day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away.
