I Will Sing Unto The Lord For He Has Triumphed Gloriously Ukulele Chords

HISTORY:  Although the song appears in a variety of hymnals (https://tinyurl.com/8wfbcemj), the origin is
anonymous, first appearing in the 1950s following its popular Israeli folk inspiration, "Tzena, Tzena, Tzena"
(example here: https://tinyurl.com/bvdxhtds).  This song paraphrases the beginning of the "Song of Moses and
Miriam," an Old Testament canticle found in Exodus 15.
 
HOW TO: In a church setting, this song is traditionally sung as verse 1, the bridge, and the chorus slowly at
first, then repeated over and over, speeding up each time (see example here: https://tinyurl.com/mstf4bdf).
Here is an extremely simplified version:  https://tinyurl.com/vhm2ed7y.  The second verse is optional for
Easter.  For strumming, I like to pluck the top string only on the first down stroke, then strum the rest with
a bit of syncopation.
