Verse 1

Oh, happy day, that fixed my choice,
On thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.

Refrain

Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away;
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing ev’ry day!

Verse 2

Oh, happy bond, that seals my vows
To him who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill the house,
While to his altar now I move.

Verse 3

’Tis done--the great transaction’s done;
I am my Lord’s, and he is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on,
Rejoiced to own the call divine.

Verse 4

Now rest--my long-divided heart--
Fixed on this blissful center, rest;
Here have I found a nobler part,
Here heavenly pleasures fill my breast.

Verse 5

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.

Verse 1

Witness, ye men and angels! now,
Before the Lord we speak;
To him we make our solemn vow,
A vow we dare not break;--

Verse 2

That, long as life itself shall last,
Ourselves to Christ we yield;
Nor from his cause will we depart,
Or even quit the field.

Verse 3

We trust not in our native strength,
But on his grace rely;
That, with returning wants, the Lord
Will all our need supply.

Verse 4

Oh! guide our doubtful feet aright,
And keep us in thy ways;
And, while we turn our vows to prayers,
Turn thou our prayers to praise.

Oh, happy day, that fixed my choice,
On thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.

Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away;
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing ev’ry day!

To him who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill the house,
While to his altar now I move.
