"See from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and Love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?"
- Isaac Watts
The sight of the beloved Son of God crucified on a rugged Roman cross does not evoke "happiness" in itself but...the knowledge that Christ's sacrifice on our behalf to remove our sins brings great joy and peace. He gave His life to give us eternal life.
