00:00:01.760 --> 00:00:22.640
Ah the story behind the tipnos,
story of the happy hymn the happy day

2
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:27.359
the day I chose to serve you
my lord and God. It is necessary

3
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:32.799
that my joy in you show it
today with deed and you. You are

4
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:37.840
happy, you are happy And for
his sake, I will enjoy myself in

5
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.159
freedom and light. I saw myself
when faith triumphed in me and the raudal

6
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:57.359
crimson health of my sick soul was
when Elizabeth Dotwich gave birth to Philip had

7
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:03.000
already suffered Partom' s pains.
More than 20 times. Eighteen of his

8
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:08.519
children had died during childhood. At
the time of birth, the midwife thought

9
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:14.799
that Philip was born dead and devoted
himself to caring for the mother. At

10
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:19.519
that time, Philip instantly cried Monica
decided that her son' s life had

11
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:26.439
been saved. For a purpose.
He spent the next six years doing his

12
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:32.000
best to teach him the scriptures.
Oh. Philip lost his mother when he

13
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:36.719
was only eight years old, and
four years later he was also fatherless.

14
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.200
God is an immortal father in his
diary. My soul rejoices in him.

15
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.920
He' s helped me and taken
care of me so far. My devotion

16
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:55.760
from now on will be to be
a more loving, laborious and grateful child.

17
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.000
He was under the care of someone
known as Downes, who sold all

18
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:07.520
his inheritance and abandoned him. Minister
Samuel Clarke took care of him and treated

19
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:13.000
him like a son, guiding him
in his education and encouraging him in his

20
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:20.879
vocation to the Ministry of Preaching.
Toddrich was pastor of an independent church and

21
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.919
taught at a seminar for dissident missionaries
in the 18th century. During this time

22
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.280
he wrote several hymns, including the
well- known Happy the Day. This

23
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.520
anthem has been brought to music in
different formats and melodies over the years.

24
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:44.520
The melody with which we all know
it was composed in the middle of the

25
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:46.439
19th century by Edward Rimbold
