Happy Message in the Song (also abbreviated: FBL ) was a record label for Christian music with evangelical character from Verlag Hermann Schulte , Wetzlar . In 1956 it started production with the release of twelve singles - including the first releases by the Derschlag men's choir . The label released initially especially gospel songs , which - the domiciled also in Wetzlar also by its worldwide spread through the radio broadcasts Gospel Radio - soon turned out as a gap in the market. Target group-specific sublabels were created with Happy News for Children and Songs of Happy News . As the German sales partner of the Swiss record label Biblophon , records with word and music recordings by lecturers and students of the seminar were released in cooperation with the Beatenberg Bible School . Offshoots for other languages ​​were also created, such as Echos de la joie in Strasbourg for French-language publications.

The label was cultivated intensively by its publisher until the 1970s. Even later, isolated publications made reference to the label. For the CD series Ja, at that time from the compilation album from secondary exploitation titles of the former label, published from 1994 to 1999, the old logo was also cited.
