1 O happy day, that fixed my choice
On thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell thy goodness all abroad.
2 O happy bond, that seals my vows,
To him who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill his house,
While to that sacred throne I move.
3 'Tis done, the great transaction's done;
I am my Lord's, and he is mine.
Help me, great God, to follow on,
Obedient to thy voice divine.
4 Now rest, mine oft divided heart;
Fix'd on this blissful centre, rest.
With ashes who would grieve to part,
When call'd on angels' bread to feast?
5 High heav'n, that heard the solemn vow,
That vow renew'd shall daily hear;
Till in life's latest hour I bow,
And bless in death a bond so dear.
