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. |
| Happy day, happy day, When Jesus washed my sins away! He taught me how to watch and pray, And live rejoicing every day; Happy day, happy day, When Jesus washed 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, Rejoiced to own the call divine. |

Now rest, my long-divided heart, Fixed on this blissful center, rest; Here have I found a nobler part, Here heav’nly pleasures fill my breast. |

High heav’n that hears 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. |

I thank God for this hymn. It is very wonderful for me to know that all my sins have been washed by the blood of Jesus Christ. This is the greatest gift I can think of. This hymn was playing in my mind this morning. This was an answer to prayer, because last week was a difficult one at work. I thank God that in about 55 years time (May be sooner) all that will be on my mind is to praise Him and glorify Him forever.

Philip Doddridge was the youngest of 20 children! He was considered too sickly to live. His parents died when he was only a teenager, but he was taken in by a minister who nurtured him in spiritual matters. Doddridge became a pastor, an educator, a hymnwriter, and an author. He wrote his hymns to illustrate his sermons and taught them to his congregation after he finished preaching.

The original last line of stanza #2 above says:
Charmed to confess the voice divine.
----------------------------------
There is an additional stanza following stanza #1:
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.
