1 O happy day, that stays my choice
On Thee, my Saviour and my God;
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell Thy goodness all abroad.

2 O happy bond, that seals my vows
To Him Who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill His house,
While to His sacred throne I move.

3 Here rest, my oft-divided heart,
Fix'd on thy God, thy Saviour, rest;
Who with the world would grieve to part
When call'd on angels' food to feast?

4 High heaven that heard the solemn vow,
That vow renew'd shall daily hear;
Till in life’s latest hour I bow,
And bless in death a bond so dear.
