81. Happy day

1 Prepared by thine Almighty power,
O Lord our Maker, Saviour, King!
And brought to see this happy hour,
We come thy praises here to sing!

Refrain:
Happy day, happy day!
Here in thy courts we'll gladly stay,
And at thy footstool humbly pray,
That thou wouldst take our sins away:
Happy day, happy day,
When Christ shall wash our sins away!

2 We praise thee for thy constant care,
For life preserved, for mercies given;
O may we still those mercies share,
And taste the joys of sins forgiven. [Refrain]

3 We praise thee for the joyful news
Of pardon thro' a Saviour's blood;
O Lord, incline our hearts to choose
The road to happiness and God. [Refrain]

4 And when on earth our days are done,
Grant, Lord, that we at length may join,
Teachers and scholars round thy throne,
The song of Moses and the Lamb. [Refrain]
