A Recital of Gracious Experience

Verse 1

I waited for the Lord my God, Yea, patiently drew near, And He at length inclined to me, My pleading cry to hear.

Verse 2

He took me from destruction's pit, From out the miry clay; He wt my feet upon a rock, and steadfast made my way.

Verse 3

A new and joyful song of praise Mu thankful heart He taught, A song of glory to our God For all that He has wrought.

Verse 4

And many who behold how good The Lord has been to me Shall learn to fear, and in His Name Their trust henceforth shall be.

Verse 5

O truly blessed is the man That on the Lord relies, Respecting not the proud, nor such As turn aside to lies.

Verse 6

O Lord, my God, how manifold The works which Thou hast wrought, Ofttimes Thou hast bestowed on us Thy care and gracious thought.

Verse 7

Thy works and thoughts most wonderful, If I of them would speak, Cannot be numbered, and in vain To set them forth I seek.
