Happiness by Abijah Forbush — Lyrics
Lord, how secure and blest are they
Who feel the joys of pardoned sin!
Should storms of wrath shake earth and sea,
Their minds have heaven and peace within.

About Happiness
Abijah Forbush’s Happiness offers a serene reflection on spiritual contentment, suitable for moments of quiet devotion or contemplation. The text expresses the profound peace experienced by those who feel the joy of forgiven sin, finding solace and inner calm even amidst worldly turmoil. Forbush sets this English text for a treble, solo tenor, and bass (STB) choir, allowing for a rich and varied texture. The music likely mirrors the gentle unfolding of the lyrics, evoking the sweetness of days filled with innocence and love, and the tranquil passage of time. It is a piece that would grace any service or concert seeking to convey a message of profound spiritual well-being.
