…O happy day, When Jesus washed my sins away...
O Happy Day has lyrics in the form of verses supplied by Philip Doddridge to go with an anonymous chorus, and the music is by Dutch Salvation Army officer Dick Krommenhoek who is currently in charge of the Army in Norway. The song is strophic, with an almost continuously syncopated melody on top of a fiercely rhythmical accompaniment, making it an ideal ender for a concert or service. Verses are in unison with a chorus set to simple harmony.
