Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #287 (1899) Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Lyrics: 1 Oh, 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.
Chorus:
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 Oh, happy bond that seals my vows
To Him who merits all my love!
I'll praise Him in His sacred house,
And gladly to His altar move. [Chorus]
3 Now with His saints I choose my part;
With them I come a welcome guest;
Here rest, my once divided heart;
In Him, thy blissful portion, rest. [Chorus]
4 High heaven, that heard the solemn vow,
That vow renewed shall daily hear,
Till, called at last from all below,
I bless in death a bond so dear. [Chorus]
Amen.
