721. O happy day, that fixed my choice

Author: Philip Doddridge 1702-51

O happy day, that fixed my choice
on you, my Saviour and my God!
Well may this grateful heart rejoice
and tell of Christ’s redeeming blood.

2. It’s done, the great transaction’s done!
I am my Lord’s and he is mine;
he led me, and I followed on
responding to the voice divine.

3. Now rest, my long-divided heart,
in Jesus Christ who loves you, rest
and never from your Lord depart,
enriched in him, by him possessed!

4. So God, who heard my solemn vow,
that vow renewed shall daily hear
till in my final breath I bow
and bless in death a bond so dear.
