Program Notes:

In his song, “O Happy Day,” Philip Doddridge (1702-1751) wrote of the joy he felt on the day he was born again. 

He taught me how to watch and pray

And live rejoicing every day;

Happy day, happy day,

When Jesus washed my sins away!

In this solo, the arranger has presented this song in a rather introspective way.  While the song describes a happy experience, it can also be a very personal one.  This setting begins and ends quietly, but it also shows the exuberance of that “happy day when Jesus washed my sins away!”
