O Day of Happiness Undying

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.
