215. O HAPPY DAY, THAT FIXED MY CHOICE

1. O happy day, that fixed my choice,

On Thee, my Saviour and my God!

Well may this glowing heart rejoice,

And tell its raptures all abroad.

Chorus:

Happy day, happy day,

When Jesus washed my sins away!

He taught me how to watch and pray,

And live rejoicing ev’ry day,

Happy day, happy day,

When Jesus washed my sins away!

2. “Tis done, the great transactions done!

I am my Lord’s and He is mine:

He drew me and I followed on,

Charmed to confess the voice divine.

3. Now rest, my long-divided heart,

Fixed on this blissful centre, rest:

Nor ever from thy Lord depart,

With Him of every good possessed.

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.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
