O Happy Day is a upbeat gospel version of a song written in the 18th century but re-arranged by Edwin Hawkins and sung by the Edwin Hawkins singers in the 1969.....it's funky upbeat tune made it #4 on Billboard i US and # 4 internationally.

Look it up on Wikipedia and listen to the original on YouTube.
