1 O happy day that fixed my choice
on you, my Saviour and my God!
well may this grateful heart rejoice
and tell of Christ's redeeming blood.

2 It's done, the great transaction's done!
I am my Lord's, and he is mine;
he led me, and I followed on
responding to the voice divine.

3 Now rest, my long-divided heart,
in Jesus Christ who loves you, rest
and never from your Lord depart
enriched in him, by him possessed!

4 So God, who heard my solemn vow,
in daily prayer shall hear my voice
till in my final breath I bow
and bless the day that fixed my choice.
