Hymn


ENGLISH LYRICS: O happy day that fixed my choice

And whose trusted in the Lord happy is he Prov.16:20

1.  O happy day that fixed my choice
   On Thee, my Saviour and my God!
   Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
   And tell its rapture all abroad.

   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. Tis done, the great transaction's done!
   I am my Lord's and He is mine;
   He drew me, and I followed on.
   Charmed to confess the voice divine.

3. 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 move.

4. Now rest, my long divided heart;
   Fixed on this blissful centre rest:
   Nor ever from thy Lord depart,
   With Him of every good possessed.

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.
Amen.
