Author: Philip Doddridge; Unknown Hymnal: Timeless Truths #1106 Meter: 8.8.8.8.6.8.8.8.6.8 First Line: O happy day, that fixed my choice Refrain First Line: Happy day, happy day Lyrics: 1 O happy day, that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.
Refrain:
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing every day:
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
2 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. [Refrain]
3 It's done: the great transaction's done!
I am the Lord's and He is mine;
He drew me and I followed on;
Charmed to confess the voice divine. [Refrain]
4 Now rest, my long-divided heart,
Fixed on this blissful center, rest;
Here have I found a nobler part;
Here heav'nly pleasures fill my breast. [Refrain]
5 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. [Refrain] Scripture: 2 Chronicles 15:12-14 Tune Title: HAPPY DAY
O Happy Day
