Betapa indah harinya, saat kupilih penebus.
O, sukacitanya, memberitahukan terus.

ref. indahlah harinya, Yesus membasuh dosaku.
Kudiajari Penebus berjaga dan berdoa t'rus.
Indahlah harinya, Yesus membasuh dosaku.

2. Betapa indah janjiNya, yang t'lah mengikat hatiku;
kub'rikan kasihku pada-Nya, serta bernyanyi syukur.

3. Sudah kujadi milikNya, Ia pun milikku kekal.
Yakin penuh 'kuikutlah: suara Tuhan kudengar.

4. Sentosalah , hai hatiku. Pelindungmu, percayalah
Jangan tinggalkan Tuhanmu, sumber kasih karunia.

5. Setiap janji hatiku, kembali kuperbarui,
sampai kepada ajalku, kupuji pengasihannya.

O 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.

Refrain

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.

O happy bond, that seals my vows
To Him Who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill His house,
While to that sacred shrine I move.

Refrain

It's done: the great transaction's done!
I am the Lord's and He is mine;
He drew me and I followed on;
Charmed to confess the voice divine.

Refrain

Now rest, my long divided heart,
Fixed on this blissful center, rest.
Here have I found a nobler part;
Here heavenly pleasures fill my breast.

Refrain

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.
