O Happy Day

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.

O happy day, O happy day,

When Jesus washed my sins away;

He taught me how to watch and pray,

And live rejoicing ev'ry day;

O happy day, O happy day,

When Jesus washed my sins away

'Tis 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.

O happy day, O happy day,

When Jesus washed my sins away;

He taught me how to watch and pray,

And live rejoicing ev'ry day;

O happy day, O happy day,

When Jesus washed my sins away

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.

O happy day, O happy day,

When Jesus washed my sins away;

He taught me how to watch and pray,

And live rejoicing ev'ry day;

O happy day, O happy day,

When Jesus washed my sins away
