The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#366

366. O happy, happy day

1 O happy, happy day
When old things passed away,
There where the Saviour died for me!
I knew my sins forgiven
And had a sight of Heaven,
There where the Saviour died for me.

Refrain:
There where the Saviour died for me;
There where the Saviour died for me;
I saw the cleansing flow
That washes white as snow,
There where the Saviour died for me.

2 I laid my burden down,
And started for the crown,
There where the Saviour died for me.
My soul was free at last,
My sins behind him cast,
There where the Saviour died for me.

3 ‘Twas there I learnt to pray
And found the narrow way,
There where the Saviour died for me.
I saw his blessèd face
And joined the heavenly race,
There where the Saviour died for me.

4 He wiped away my tears
And drove away my fears,
There where the Saviour died for me.
He whispered: Go in peace;
And bade my struggling cease,
There where the Saviour died for me.

5 Though Hell should me assail,
Through prayer I shall prevail,
There where the Saviour died for me.
I never need retreat,
Nor suffer a defeat,
There where the Saviour died for me.
