Verse 1
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 bro't me out to golden day
Chorus
He bro't 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
Verse 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
Verse 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
Verse 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
