This pancocojams post presents information about the Christian prayer/hymn "The Magnificat" ("Song Of Mary").
This post also presents two "traditional" and three gospelized renditions of that hymn.
"Gospelized hymns" ("gospelized Spirituals", "gospelized songs") are terms that I coined for religious songs that are performed in an African American gospel style. An example showcased in this post expands that definition by presenting a hymn that is performed in a Yoruba (Nigeria) gospel style.
Two of these gospelized renditions are entitled "My Soul Doth Magnify The Lord" and are performed by O'Lander Draper & The Associates and O' Lander Draper's Associates.
The third rendition is performed by the Daystar Healing Streams of God Choir (Nigeria) and is titled "Messiah" (although its lyrics are the same as "My Soul Doth Magnify The Lord").
Lyrics for "My Soul Doth Magnify The Lord" are included in this post.

Thanks to the unknown composer of this hymn and thanks to all of the choirs for their musical legacy. Special thanks to O'Lander Draper for his musical legacy. Thanks also to all those who are quoted in this post and thanks to the publishers of these videos on YouTube.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE SONG "MY SOUL DOTH MAGNIFY THE LORD"
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnificat
"The Magnificat (Latin: [My soul] magnifies [the Lord]) is a canticle, also known as the Song of Mary, the Canticle of Mary, and, in the Byzantine tradition, the Ode of the Theotokos... It is traditionally incorporated into the liturgical services of the Catholic Church (at vespers) and of the Eastern Orthodox churches (at the morning services).[1] It is one of the eight most ancient Christian hymns and perhaps the earliest Marian hymn.[2][3] Its name comes from the incipit of the Latin version of the canticle's text.
The text of the canticle is taken directly from the Gospel of Luke (1:46–55) where it is spoken by Mary upon the occasion of her Visitation to her cousin Elizabeth.[2] In the narrative, after Mary greets Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist, the latter moves within Elizabeth's womb. Elizabeth praises Mary for her faith (using words partially reflected in the Hail Mary), and Mary responds with what is now known as the Magnificat.
Within the whole of Christianity, the Magnificat is most frequently recited within the Liturgy of the Hours. In Western Christianity, the Magnificat is most often sung or recited during the main evening prayer service: Vespers in the Catholic and Lutheran churches, and Evening Prayer (or Evensong) in Anglicanism. In Eastern Christianity, the Magnificat is usually sung at Sunday Matins. Among Protestant groups, the Magnificat may also be sung during worship services, especially in the Advent season during which these verses are traditionally read."...

Adebisi Fiyinfoluwa:
"hi, apologies for the late response, hallelujah ogo ni fun Baba is a folk song, these type of songs are often regarded as native, it's origin cannot be traced to an individual as the song is really old. Thanks for promoting the song on you site. I will keep you updated with our progress in Healing streams of God."

Thanks to Anonymous 12/10/2017 for writing a comment that presents the lyrics for the soloist's riffs (extemporaneous words or lyrics). I'm quoting this comment with added formatting:
"Here is the translation of the soloist riffs as translated by Lai Agboola:
For those who wondered was said by the lead singer at the ending part (from 6:01min)
The Great Lord that was born;
(chorus)- Hallelujah! The greatest warrior;
(chorus)- Hallelujah!
(the third verse I don't know)
If you ask me, I have a lot to say;
(chorus- Ehn ooo- which means O YES!)
I have a lot to testify about God's goodness;
(chorus): O YES!
A lot of people my age have died;
(chorus) O YES!
Many are existing like the dead;
(chorus) O YES!
But the Lord has been good to me;
(chorus) O YES! Ooh!
I received God's blessings;
(chorus) O YES!
I received it in abundant and overflowing measures;
(chorus): O YES!
I will dance to the right if it befits my king;
(chorus): O YES!!
In abundant might, I shall dance;
(chorus): O YES!!
I will dance to the left if it pleases Him;
(chorus): O YES!
For He never left me in hunger;
(chorus): O YES!
For He never allowed me to be buried in debts;
(chorus): O YES!
A coffin was not bought for my burial;
(chorus): O YES!
For it is the Lord's mercy upon me that makes me to look like a the one with strength and might;
My Holy Lord I thank you; You never let the world take the power of your name out of my mouth;
You are the deepest love, the greatest one to lean on;
to the God of wonders, I give my thanks.
You place a song in my mouth and ask me to sing on....
Chorus: Hallelujah, Glory to God
(7:23 min) (Talking drums...)
No one can ask you o Lord, no one can question you...
I approach your throne with fear and humility and tremble No one can question my Lord;
the God in Spirit that cannot be lifted up with bare/physical hands The Glorious and Magnificent God like an endless precious coral bead chain that runs through the whole earth...
Chorus: Our God reigns... (8:30 min)"
