OH, HAPPY DAY
(Written by EDWIN R. HAWKINS)

Oh happy day, oh happy day; When Jesus washed, oh when He washed
When my Jesus washed, He washed my sins away; Oh happy day.

He taught me how to walk, fight and pray, fight and pray
And in rejoicing, in rejoicing every, every day, every day.


Oh happy day, oh happy day; When my Jesus washed, oh when He washed
When my Jesus washed all the sins away Oh happy day, yeah.


You see He taught me how to watch, fight and pray fight and pray
And in rejoicing, in rejoicing every day, every day

Oh happy, happy day, oh happy, happy day
Oh it felt so good when Jesus, when Jesus washed,
When my Jesus washed my sins away.

Hi - You didn't say which "O Happy Day" but here's the Hawkins version which appears based on the Doddridge/Rimbault version.

FYI: Found it at: http://www.dejanews.com - Do a power search

Set CUR/OLD switch to OLD: [ lyrics | happy | day ]

Oh happy day

Oh happy day ! Oh happy day ! Oh happy day ! happy day, happy day ! Oh happy day ! Oh happy day ! When Jesus washed, oh when he washed When Jesus washed, he whashed the sins away. Oh happy day ! Oh happy day ! He taught me how to watch, fight and pray, fight and pray ! An live rejoicing ev'ry day, ev'ry day ! Oh happy day ! happy day, HAPPY DAY!

You can get the lyrics, score and accompaniment tape at your local Christian Book Supply Store. The music can also be found in the Bill Gaither Homecoming Souvenir Songbook Vol. II (the book is red in color).

A friend has asked me to try to find sheet music for this, but can't find anything on the web. Has anyone got an ABC format version please? (I can translate that back into dots).

Sheet music (by Edwin Hawkins) is also in Gospel & Inspirational Showstoppers (CPP/Belwin, pp, 278-280). Dodridge and Rimbault's original "O Happy Day (That Fix My Choice)" is (CyberHymnal).

Thanks, Masato, I'll see if that info helps my friend, although my system doesn't recognise the format the tune is in in the Cyber Hymnal. I suspect it's probably the Edwin Hawkins version she's after, but will hopefully see her tonight to make sure. Thanks again.
