On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice
And tell its raptures all abroad.
Refrain:
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray
And live rejoicing ev'ry day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
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 shrine I move. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
4 Now rest, my long-divided heart,
Fixed on this blissful center, rest;
Nor ever from my Lord depart,
With Him of ev'ry good possessed. [Refrain] Topics: Cleansing; Commitment and Submission; Discipleship; Guidance; Joy; Prayer and Intercession; Refuge; Sanctification; Serenity; Sin; Worship and Adoration Languages: English Tune Title: HAPPY DAY
