Rejoicing in Our Covenant Engagements to God 2 Chron. XV. 15. written by Philip Doddridge - Quote
- Comments
- The verses come from Doddridg's hymn "Rejoicing in Our Covenant Engagement to God". The refrain (Oh Happy Day, Oh Happy Day, when Jesus washed my sins away! He taught me how to watch and pray, and live rejoicing every day.) which was not part of Doddridge's hymn, but was added in 1854, seems to have been adapted from a secular song, "Happy Land, Whate'er My Fate in Life May Be", that was either written or arranged by Rimbault.
