Tune Name: COVENANTERS
I waited long upon the LORD,
Yea, patiently drew near;
And He at length inclined to me,
My pleading cry to hear.
He took me from a fearful pit,
From out the miry clay;
He set my feet upon a rock
Establishing my way.
He put anew song in mymouth,
Our God to magnify;
And many, seeing it, shall fear
And on the LORD rely.
O greatly blessed is the man
Who on the LORD relies;
Respecting not the proud, not such
As turn aside to lies.

Includes Wide Format PowerPoint file!
Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.
All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
