1 Oh, dia alegre em que Jesus
Minha alma para Si chamou,
E me fez ver, na Sua cruz,
O preço que por mim pagou!
Sou feliz, mui feliz,
Porque Jesus me perdoou!

Refrain:
Perfeita paz e gozo achei,
Quando a Jesus eu me entreguei.
Mui feliz, sim, eu sou!
Pois com Jesus ao céu eu vou!

2 Foi feita a grande transação:
De Cristo sou e Cristo é meu;
Amando-me de coração,
Por Sua graça me venceu.
Sou feliz, mui feliz,
Porque Jesus por mim Se deu!

3 Minha alma o seu descanso tem
No terno seio do Senhor;
Paz e sossego, que provém
Do gozo do Seu santo amor.
Sou feliz, mui feliz,
Porque encontrei meu Salvador!
