Happy in Thee

Author: Sarah E. James Hymnal: Showers of Blessing #90 (1888) First Line: My soul is rejoicing, and sweet is my song Refrain First Line: Happy in thee, happy in thee Lyrics: 1 My soul is rejoicing, and sweet is my song, While onward to Zion I journey along; No thorns in my pathway, no clouds can I see, For oh, I am happy, dear Saviour, in thee. Refrain: Happy in thee, happy in thee, My soul is rejoicing, my spirit is free, And, oh, I am happy, dear Saviour, in thee. 2 Thy presence is with me, thy image I bear; Thy banner is o’er me, thy garment I wear; The world and its pleasures are nothing to me, For oh, I am happy, dear Saviour, in thee. [Refrain] 3 I walk in thy sunshine, I rest in thy smile, And visions of glory the moments beguile; Thy peace like a river is flowing for me, For oh, I am happy, dear Saviour, in thee. [Refrain] 4 I know there’s a mansion preparing above, Where soon thou wilt call me to feast on thy love; Yet here while I tarry content will I be, For oh, I am happy, dear Saviour, in thee. [Refrain] Tune Title: [My soul is rejoicing, and sweet is my song]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[My soul is rejoicing, and sweet is my song]" in Showers of Blessing William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
