1  Oh, happy day that fixed my choice
      On thee, my Savior and my God!
    Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
      And tell its raptures all abroad.

        Happy day, happy day,
          When Jesus washed my sins away.
        He taught me how to watch and pray,
          And live rejoicing every day.
        Happy day, happy day,
          When Jesus washed my sins away.

2  'Tis done, the great transaction's done,
      I am my Lord's, and he is mine;
    He drew me, and I followed on,
      Charmed to confess the voice divine.

                    NOW THE CHAINS OF SIN ARE BROKEN.

1  Now the chains of sin are broken,
      I am free, I'm free!
    Christ the word of power has spoken
      Unto me, to me.

        Hallelujah! hallelujah!
          Jesus died for me;
        Hallelujah! hallelujah!
          I am free, I'm free.

2  I will tell the wondrous story
      Of his grace and love;
    He hath filled my soul with glory,
      Praise the Lord above.
