The Happiest Day

 

Happy I was when You became

My Lord and Saviour, One the Same;

It was a joy to come to You-

Be born again from worlds untrue,

Because You gave me love.

 

When You reached down to save me,

The day Your love forgave me,

The day my sicknesses You took,

All strife and pain my life forsook,

And I arose again.

 

But a greater hour and happier day

Awaited me in God s own way:

The day another I forgave,

The day I reached my hand to save,

Because You first loved me.

 

Oh, let me now where er I go

By touch of mine Your Kindness show

Forgive what stains the soul with blood,

And bless what yields a gift for Good,

Because I love You, Lord.
