O Day of Happiness Undying 11
I. Williams Rev. Fr. Ligonnet
 

1.Let hosts of heaven at - tend and heart - felt prais - es sing;
Let earth and sky re - joice this hap - py, ha p - py day;
My God dwells in my heart, my Sav iour and my King;
His love so dear, so sweet, he now to me doth
bring, To be mine own for aye, to be mine own for aye.
O Day of hap-i-ness undying
Of sweet de-light and ectasy;
My God on wings of mer-cy fly-ing,
Deigns to come and dwell with me
My God on wings of mer-cy fly-ing,
Deigns to come and dwell with me
2.He loves me with a love no mor - tal heart can show,
A love so vast and deep, so true and wonder-ful,
That e'en the saints in heaven its depths can nev-er know ;
Sweet peace and heaven- ly joy and sav - ing grac -es flow
From love so mer-ci-ful, from love so mer-ci-ful.
O Day of hap-i-ness undying &c.
3.0! Je - sus, dear est Lord, my heart e'er pines and sighs,
To lean, like John of old up - on thy sa-cred Breast;
The prom-ise sweet, 0! Lord, to read in thy dear Eyes,
That one day I shall fly to thee in Par - a-dise,
In thy loved Heart to rest, in thy loved Heart to rest.
O Day of hap-i-ness undying, &c.
