O Happy Day -- Instrumental Hymn

O Happy Day is written by Phillip Doddridge and E. F. Rimbault.

O happy day, that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice
And tell its raptures all abroad.
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!

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.
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!

'Tis done, this great transaction's done
I am my Lord's and He is mine!
He drew me and I followed on
Glad to confess the voice divine.
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!

Now rest, my long-divided heart
Fixed on this blissful center, rest.
Nor ever from thy Lord depart
With Him of every good possessed.
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!
