O HAPPY DAY THAT FIXED MY CHOICE

O HAPPY DAY THAT FIXED MY CHOICE 

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.

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; 
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, 
Rejoicing in the call divine. 

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; 
Happy day, happy day, 
When Jesus washed my sins away.

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. 

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; 
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. 

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; 
Happy day, happy day, 
When Jesus washed my sins away.
