O Happy Day
by
Philip Doddridge
And all
Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought
him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and theLord gave them rest round about. (II Chronicles 15:15)
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.
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.
O
happy bond, that seals my vows
To Him who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill His house,
While to that sacred shrine I move.
To Him who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill His house,
While to that sacred shrine I move.
’Tis
done: the great transaction’s done!
I am the Lord’s and He is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on;
Charmed to confess the voice divine.
I am the Lord’s and He is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on;
Charmed to confess the voice divine.
Now
rest, my long divided heart,
Fixed on this blissful center, rest.
Here have I found a nobler part;
Here heavenly pleasures fill my breast.
Fixed on this blissful center, rest.
Here have I found a nobler part;
Here heavenly pleasures fill my breast.
High
Heaven, that heard 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.
Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my
sins away!That vow renewed shall daily hear,
Till in life’s latest hour I bow
And bless in death a bond so dear.
He taught me how to watch and pray, and live rejoicing every day
Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away.
