1 O happy day! that bursts the tomb,
And sets the joyful prisoners free;
That lifts the saints from death and gloom
To life and immortality.

Chorus:
Happy day! happy day!
For thee we'll wait and watch and pray;
We bid thy hours no more delay;
O chase the shades of night away.
Happy day! happy day!
For thee we'll wait and watch and pray.

2 O happy day! when earth so bright,
In Eden robes shall bloom again;
Her beauty no decay shall blight,
Nor death e'er tread her wide domain. [Chorus]

3 O happy day! when far around,
Through all this universal frame,
One glorious anthem shall resound
Of blessing to Jehovah's name. [Chorus]

4 O happy day! that knows no night;
No sorrow with thy joy shall blend;
No clouds shall e'er obscure thy light;
Thy scenes of glory ne'er shall end. [Chorus]
The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book: for use in divine worship #793 (1886)
