1. O 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. (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. '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. 3. Now rest, my long—divided heart, Fixed on this blissful center, rest; Here have I found a nobler part, Here heav'nly pleasures fill my breast. (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! 4. High heav'n that hears 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.
