[1]
O 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.

[chorus]
Happy day! Happy day!
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray;
And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day! Happy day!
When Jesus washed my sins away!

[2]
'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.

[chorus]
Happy day! Happy day!
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray;
And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day! Happy day!
When Jesus washed my sins away!

[3]
Now rest, my long-divided heart,
Fixed on this blissful centre, rest;
Nor ever from thy Lord depart,
With him of every good possessed.

[chorus]
Happy day! Happy day!
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray;
And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day! Happy day!
When Jesus washed my sins away!

[4]
High heav'n 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.

[chorus]
Happy day! Happy day!
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray;
And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day! Happy day!
When Jesus washed my sins away!
