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

Refrain
Happy day! happy day! When Jesus wash’d my sins away:
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing ev’ry day:
Happy day! happy day! When Jesus wash’d my sins away.

‘Tis done! the 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.

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

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesu’s blood-God’s righteousness:
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesu’s Name!

Refrain
On Christ, the solid Rock I stand:
All other ground is sinking sand!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand:
All other ground is sinking sand!

When darkness seems to vail His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace:
In ev’ry high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vail!

Eternally His promise stands,
My name is graven on His hands!
When all around my soul gives way,
He still abides, my Hope and Stay!
