Text:	My Soul Shall Be Joyful
Tune:	[My soul shall be joyful in the Lord]
Composer:	Ira B. Wilson

My soul shall be joyful in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in the Lord;
It shall rejoice in his salvation,
It shall rejoice in his salvation;
My soul shall be joyful in the Lord,
It shall rejoice, in his salvation.

The Lord is my strength and my shield,
My heat trusteth in him,
Therefore my heart, therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth.
And with my song will I praise him,
And with my song will I praise him;
Therefore my heart shall greatly rejoice,
And with my song will praise him.
