Hymn 128 - O, Happy Day

2010 VERSION


Lift up His praise this Sabbath morn

To God who fills us with His rest,

With all the saints we gather near

To keep the day that He has blest.


With living bread our souls He fills,

With living water gives us life,

Oh loving Father, bless us here

And lead us by Your kindly light.


As one in heart and mind we come

To keep, on earth, this day so blest.

Oh let us now be joined to Thee, 

And one day reach Your hallowed rest.


(REFRAIN)

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!

With living water gives us life,

And one day reach Thy hallowed rest.


(REFRAIN)

Happy day, happy day,

At Jesus’ feet, our burdens lay.

We gather here to watch and pray,

As we pursue the heav’nly way.

Happy day, happy day,

Within the love of God we stay.
