Hymns of the Lutheran Church

389 O happy day, that stays my choice

1 O happy day, that stays my choice On Thee, my Savior and my God! Well may this glowing heart rejoice, And tell its raptures all abroad. 2 O happy bond, that seals my vows To Him who merits all my love! I'll praise Him in His sacred house, And gladly to His altar move. 3 'Tis done, the great transaction's done; I am my Lord's, and He is mine: He drew me, and I followed on, Glad to obey the voice divine. 4 High heaven, that heard 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.
