1. O h a p p y day! when first we felt
Our souls with true contrition m e lt;
And all our sins of crimson guilt
Were cleansed by blood on Calv’ry spilt.
2. O happy day! when Jesus’ love
Began our grateful hearts to move,
And gazing on the wond’rous cross,
We saw all else as worthless dross.
3. O happy day! when, sin no more,
We meet Him Whom our souls adore;
When sorrows, conflicts, fears, shall cease,
And all our trials end in peace.
4. O happy day! when we shall see,
And cast our longing eyes on Thee;
On Thee our light, our life, our love,
Our all below, our heaven above.308
5. O happy day of cloudless light!
Eternal day without a night!
Lord, when shall we its dawning see,
And spend it all in praising Thee?
6. Come, Saviour, come! O quickly come!
Take us Thy waiting people home;
We long to stand around Thy throne,
To love and serve Thee, Lord, alone.
