Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #436 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Hosea 11:4 Lyrics: 1 Oh, happy day, that fixed my choice
On thee, my Saviour and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.
2 Oh, 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.
3 '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.
4 Now rest, my long-divided heart;
Fixed on this blissful center, rest,
Nor ever from thy Lord depart;
With him of every good possessed.
5 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. Topics: The Christian System Justification By Faith; Vows Remembered and Renewed
