Author: P. H. Dingman Hymnal: The Old Story in Song #18 (1906) First Line: You ask what makes me happy, my heart so free from care Lyrics: 1 You ask what makes me happy, my heart so free from care, It is because my Saviour in mercy heard my pray’r; He brought me out of darkness and now the light I see; O blessed, loving Saviour! to him the praise shall be. Refrain: I will shout his praise in glory, And we’ll all sing hallelujah in heaven by and by; I will shout his praise in glory, And we’ll all sing hallelujah in heaven by and by. 2 I was a friendless wand’rer till Jesus took me in, My life was full of sorrow, my heart was full of sin; But when the blood so precious spoke pardon to my soul; O blissful, blissful moment! ’twas joy beyond control. [Refrain] 3 I wish that ev’ry sinner before his throne would bow; He waits to give them welcome, he longs to bless them now; If they but knew the rapture that in his love I see, They’d come and shout salvation, and sing his praise with me. [Refrain] 4 I mean to live for Jesus while here on earth I stay, And when his voice shall call me to realms of endless day, As one by one we gather, rejoicing on the shore, We’ll shout his praise in glory, and sing forevermore. [Refrain] Tune Title: [You ask what makes me happy] (Sweney)

John R. Sweney

1837 - 1899 Person Name: Jno. R. Sweney Composer of "[You ask what makes me happy] (Sweney)" in The Old Story in Song John R. Sweney (1837-1899) was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and exhibited musical abilities at an early age. At nineteen he was studying with a German music teacher, leading a choir and glee club, and performing at children’s entertainments. By twenty-two he was teaching at a school in Dover, Delaware. Soon thereafter, he was put in charge of the band of the Third Delaware Regiment of the Union Army for the duration of the Civil War. After the war, he became Professor of Music at the Pennsylvania Military Academy, and director of Sweney’s Cornet Band. He eventually earned Bachelor and Doctor of Music degrees at the Academy. Sweney began composing church music in 1871 and became well-known as a leader of large congregations. His appreciators stated “Sweney knows how to make a congregation sing” and “He had great power in arousing multitudes.” He also became director of music for a large Sunday school at the Bethany Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia of which John Wanamaker was superintendent (Wanamaker was the founder of the first major department store in Philadelphia). In addition to his prolific output of hymn melodies and other compositions, Sweney edited or co-edited about sixty song collections, many in collaboration with William J. Kirkpatrick. Sweney died on April 10, 1899, and his memorial was widely attended and included a eulogy by Wanamaker. Joe Hickerson from "Joe's Jottings #9" used by permission
