Text by Shirley Erena Murray.
The Murray text claims that we are all an echo of God's good humor, and therefore we are to sing not just a joyful, but a "happy" alleluia. Morris picks up the idea in her setting giving us a tune filled with delight. There are a couple of places where the harmonic vocabulary wanders adventurously. Though completely logical, some extra rehearsal time will be needed in these spots. But it's all more than worth it!
With a text by Shirley Erena Murray, this hymn with refrain has a gentle swing.
