#64 "On This Day of Joy and Gladness"

This hymn originally appeared as "Song of Praise" in a collection of songs (published by the church) called "The Choirbook".  I can't remember if it was for the dedication of the Victorville Stake Center or the Hesperia Stake Center, but I sang in the choir for the dedication and we sang the arrangement from "The Choirbook".  When the 1985 hymnbook was published, I was very happy to see this hymn included.  We've used the hymnal arrangement as a ward choir in sacrament meeting, but we don't sing it too much as a congregation.  I really like this hymn!
