He Brought Me Out

My heart was distressed

'Neath Jehovah's dread frown,

And low in the pit where my sins

Dragged me down;

I cried to the Lord

From the deep, miry clay,

Who tenderly brought me out

to golden day.

He brought me out of the miry clay,

He set my feet on the Rock to stay;

He puts a song in my soul today,

A song of praise, hallelujah.

He placed me upon

The strong Rock by His side,

My steps were established

and here I'll abide;

No danger of falling

While here I remain,

But stand by His grace

Until the crown I gain.

He gave me a song,

'Twas a new song of praise,

By day and by night

Its sweet notes I will raise;

My heart's overflowing,

I'm happy and free,

I'll praise my Redeemer,

Who has rescued me.

I'll sing of His wonderful

mercy to me,

I'll praise Him till all men

His goodness shall see;

I'll sing of salvation

At home and abroad,

Till many shall hear the truth

And trust in God.

I'll tell of the pit,

With its gloom and despair,

I'll praise the dear Father,

Who answered my prayer;

I'll sing my new song,

The glad story of love,

Then join in the chorus

With the saints above.
