JP 178 Oh happy day O happy day! that fixed my choice on You, my Saviour and my God! Well may this grateful heart rejoice, and tell of Christ’s redeeming blood. O happy day! O happy day! when Jesus washed my sins away; He taught me how to watch and pray, and live rejoicing every day; (hallelujah!) O happy day! O happy day! when Jesus washed my sins away. It’s done, the great transaction’s done! I am my Lord’s and He is mine! He led me, and I followed on, responding to the voice divine. O happy day! . . . . Now rest, my long-divided heart, in Jesus Christ who loves you, rest; and never from your Lord depart, enriched by Him, by Him possessed. O happy day! . . . 2
So God, who heard the solemn vow, in daily prayer shall hear my voice, till in my final breath I bow, and bless the day that fixed my choice. O happy day! . . .
