Text:
Rejoice and shout for joy; the Lord is by thy side.
He’ll defend and succor thee if thou in Him abide.
He will protect and save when placing trust in Him.
He will be thy sheltering and give thee strength within.

He will guard the righteous ones encompassed as a shield . . .
Encompassed as a holy shield, his care will be revealed.

Rejoice and shout for joy; the Lord will cover thee.
If thou loves His holy name, His grace shall never flee.
Oh, listen to His word and hearken to His voice.
He will wrap thee with His love . . . with everlasting joys.

He will bless the righteous ones encompassed as a shield . . .
Encompassed as a holy shield, His care will be revealed.
Encompassed as a holy shield, His love will ever seal.
