And saved by grace alone,
Walking in all thy ways we find
Our heaven on earth begun.

About Happy the souls to Jesus joined
Thomas Jarman’s SATB setting of Happy the souls to Jesus joined opens with a gentle hymnal character, the voices weaving together to create a sense of communion. The text expresses the profound joy and spiritual union experienced by those who follow Jesus, finding their heavenly reward even in this life. It speaks of the connection between the earthly church and the triumphant church above, united in their praise of the Lamb. The composer’s homophonic writing and clear melodic lines support the text’s message of serene devotion and everlasting peace, making this a moving anthem for choir and congregation.
