Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #265 (1934) First Line: O happy day that fixed my choice Lyrics: 1 O happy day that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell thy goodness 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;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
and live rejoicing ev'ry day.
2 O happy bond, that seals my vows,
To Him who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill His house,
While in that sacred shrine I move.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
and live rejoicing ev'ry day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
and live rejoicing ev'ry day.
3 '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.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
and live rejoicing ev'ry day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
and live rejoicing ev'ry day.
4 Now rest, my long divided heart;
Fixed on this blissful centre, rest;
Nor ever from my Lord depart,
With Him of ev'ry good possesed.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
and live rejoicing ev'ry day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
and live rejoicing ev'ry day.
