1.My heart was distress'd neath Jehovah's dread frown,And low in the pit where my sins dragg'd me down;I cried to the Lord from the deep miry clay,Who tenderly brought me out to golden day.Chorus:He brought me out of the miry clay,He set my feet on the Rock to stay;He puts a song in my soul to-day,A song of praise, hallelujah!2.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. [Chorus]3.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. [Chorus]4.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. [Chorus]
