Verse 1
I Waited for the Lord my God
And patiently did bear:
At length to me He did incline
My voice and cry to hear.
Verse 2
He took me from a fearful pit,
And from the miry clay,
And on a rock He set my feet,
Establishing my way.
Verse 3
He put a new song in my mouth.
Our God to magnify:
Many shall see it, and shall fear,
And on the Lord rely.
Verse 4
O blessed is the man whose trust
Upon the Lord relies;
Respecting not the proud, nor such
As turn aside to lies.
Verse 5
In Thee let all be glad, and joy,
Who seeking Thee abide;
Who Thy salvation love, say still,
The Lord be magnified.
Reginald Heber.
