English Lyrics Version 1 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. Refrain: Happy day, happy day, When Jesus washed my sins away! He taught me how to watch and pray, And live rejoicing ev’ry 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.

Now rest, my long divided heart, Fixed on this blissful center, rest; Nor ever from my Lord depart; With Him of ev’ry good possessed.
