Verse 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
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;
O Happy day, O happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
Verse 2
’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.
Chorus
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;
O Happy day, O happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
Verse 3
Now rest, my long divided heart,
Fixed on this blissful centre, rest;
Nor ever from the Lord depart,
with Him of every good possessed.
Chorus
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;
O Happy day, O happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
Verse 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.
Chorus
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;
O Happy day, O happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
