Preserved by Thine al­migh­ty pow­er,
O Lord, our Mak­er, Sav­ior, King,
And brought to see this hap­py hour,
We come Thy prais­es here to sing.

Refrain

Happy day, hap­py day!
Here in Thy courts we’ll glad­ly stay,
And at Thy foot­stool hum­bly pray
That thou wouldst take our sins away.
Happy day, hap­py day!
When Christ shall wash our sins away!

We praise Thee for Thy con­stant care,
For life pre­served, for mer­cies giv’n;
Oh, may we still these mer­cies share,
And taste the joys of sins for­giv’n.

Refrain

We praise Thee for the joy­ful news
Of pa­rdon through a Savior’s blood;
O Lord, in­cline our hearts to choose
The way to hap­pi­ness and God.

Refrain

And when on earth our days are done,
Grant, Lord, that we at length may sing,
With teach­ers, schol­ars, round Thy throne,
The song of Mos­es and the Lamb.
