Gladness for Glory

"Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness: to the end that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent" (Psalm 30:11,12). "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior" (Luke 1:46,47).

Rejoice, my soul, for the robe of sadness
That girded your soul once with sorrow,
The Lord has changed to garments of gladness
Today, and for every tomorrow!

My soul magnifies Christ Jesus my Lord,
And my spirit exalts God my Savior!
I cannot contain this gladness outpoured,
For the mercy of God and His favor!
