HYMN 84.

Oh, happy day that fix'd my choice,
Through grace on Thee, my Saviour, God!
Well may my grateful heart rejoice,
And tell Thy goodness all abroad!

Oh, happy bond, that seal'd my vows,
To him who merits all my love!
Here may I dwell within His house,
Then to His heav'nly courts remove.

Now rest my long divided heart,
Fix'd on this blissful centre, rest!
Freely with all things earthly part,
With Christ to dwell, with Christ to feast.

May God, who heard the solemn vow,
From day to day impart His grace,
To work obedience in me now,
And fit me to behold His face.
