Happy Song
$29.95
The “Warfare” section of The Salvation Army Song Book is full of battle songs that remind us that despite things such as trouble, calamity, persecution, hunger, poverty, danger – even unto death, etc., “overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loves us” (Romans 8:37 [NLT]). We are soldiers in an army that is already promised victory because of our captain, Christ himself!
This is a bright arrangement of one of these songs, “Happy Song” by William Bradbury (1867). The lyrics by Fanny Crosby (1867) remind us to “Shout for Joy!” as “we are marching on with shield and banner bright.”
