O Happy Day That Fixed My Choice

O happy day that fixed my choice - On Thee, my savior and my God! Well may this glowing heart rejoice,- And it tells its raptures all abroad.

Happy day, happy day, - When Jesus wash'd my sins away! He teaches me to watch and pray! And live rejoicing ev'ry day Happy day, happy day, When Jesus wash'd my sins away!

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.

Tis done, the great transaction's done. I am the Lords and he is mine; he drew me, and I followed on, charmed to confess the voice divine.

Now rest, my long divided heart; Fixed on this blissful centre rest, Nor ever from Thy Lord depart, With him of every good posse'sed.

High heaven, 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.
