13. Nigun Simcha IV

This is a joyful song in three sections. Even in the most rapturous Chabad nigun the listener may perceive an echo of nostalgic tones. This nigun is basically a continuation of a previous mood of soul-accounting. The Chassid is convinced that he is still far removed from perfection in Torah study and religious practice. Yet, no to be dominated by utter hopelessness and despair, he sings forth a nigun of joy, gaining new strength and courage in his attempt at self-improvement.
