Lyics

I WAITED for the Lord my God,

And patiently did bear;

At length to me he did incline

My voice and cry to hear.



He took me from a fearful pit,

And from the miry clay,

And on a rock he set my feet,

Establishing my way.



He put a new song in my mouth,

Our God to magnify:

Many shall hear it, and shall fear,

And on the Lord rely.



O blessed is the man whose trust

Upon the Lord relies;

Respecting not the proud, nor such

As turn aside to lies.



O Lord my God, full many are

The wonders thou hast done;

Thy gracious thoughts to us-ward far

Above all thoughts are gone:



In order none can reckon them 

To thee; if them declare,

And speak of them I would, they more

Than can be number'd are.
