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!

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.
