Oh Happy Day

Canzone Gospel incisa dagli Edwin Hawkins Singers nel 1967, ispirata da un inno del XVII
secolo. In Italia questo brano viene considerato un brano natalizio a causa di una notà pubblicità
andata in onda dal 1983 durante le feste di Natale ma, in realtà, questo brano è un inno alla
conversione che viene spesso cantato nelle chiese protestanti durante i battesimi e le cresime.
