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.

And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!

And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!

Charmed to confess the voice divine.

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

High Heaven, that heard the solemn vow,
That vow renewed shall daily hear,
Till in time's latest hour I bow,
And bless at last a bond so dear.

From highest heaven to earth shall come;
Then with my Lord I'll rise, and reign
Forever in that happy home.
