My soul re¤¤joic¤es ¤in the Lord,
For He has ¤made my ¤life His own.
That which was lost is now re¤stored,
And nev¤er shall be ¤o¤ver¤thrown.

While this sweet ¤voice my ¤heart can charm,
De¤spite the ¤man¤y ¤sounds that thrill,
I find it is the se¤cret balm
And an¤ti¤dote for ¤eve¤ry ill.

When flesh is ¤weak and ¤oul is faint,
This Spir¤it ¤voice comes ¤clear and sweet,
Pour out thy heart with¤out re¤straint,
And find thy rest at ¤Je¤sus’ feet.

And then I ¤lay me ¤down in peace,
For Je¤sus ¤knows and ¤gives to me
A rest and strength that doth in¤crease,
As He re¤veals Him¤¤self to me.

’Tis sweet to ¤know this ¤pre¤cious rest
Is free to ¤all who ¤trust in Him,
And long¤ing hearts are cheered and blest
With love and light that ¤ne’er grows dim.

His love will ¤lead, His ¤light will guide,
Though we oft¤¤times are ¤sore dis¤tressed,
To Him who loved and wept and died,
Then may we ev¤er ¤give our best.
