Refrain: O bless that happy day, When Jesus came to stay. Although my sins were crimson red, He washed them all away; And since His pow’r and mighty Has changed my night to day, My soul is filled with joy and light, Since Jesus came to stay. 2 Before my Savior came, I often was cast down, The least thing made my temper flame, And trifles made me frown; But now my heart is clean, And sin’s all washed away; So now with joy I sing and shout, Since Jesus came to stay. [Refrain] 3 Since Jesus came to stay, My feet have ceased to slip, I sail no more a sinking wreck, But on the gospel ship; She’s rigged in splendid style, In true salvation way, And all on board are singing now, Since Jesus came to stay. [Refrain] 4 I know that I have found The Lord so good and kind, And none need feed on husks of sin, If sin is left behind; For since I’ve found this light So precious day by day, I shout and sing with all my might, Since Jesus came to stay. [Refrain] 5 And by and by we’ll meet On that celestial shore, And walk with joy the golden street, And shout for evermore; And then again we’ll raise This happy joyous lay, In everlasting songs of praise, Since Jesus came to stay.
