| Eb
| |
| 1. I waited for the Lord my God,
Yea, patiently drew near,
And He at length inclined to me,
My pleading cry to hear.
2. He took me from destruction’s pit,
From out the miry clay;
He set my feet upon a rock,
And steadfast made my way.
3. A new and joyful song of praise
My thankful heart He taught,
A song of glory to our God
For all that He has wrought.
4. And many who behold how good
The Lord has been to me
Shall learn to fear, and in His Name
Their trust shall henceforth be.
