O Happy Day That Fixed My Choice

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.

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.

'Tis done: The great transaction's done!
I am the Lord's and He is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on;
Charmed to confess the voice divine.

Now rest, my long divided heart,
fixed on this blissful centre, rest.
Here have I found a nobler part;
Here heav'nly pleasures fill my breast.

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.
