Verse 1

DAY after day I sought the Lord, And waited patiently; Until He bent down from His throne, And hearkened to my cry.

Verse 2

He drew me from the fearful pit, And from the miry clay; He placed my feet upon a rock, And led me in His way.

Verse 3

He taught my soul a new-made song, A song of holy praise, All they who see these things, with fear Their hopes to God shall raise.

Verse 4

Most blessed is the man whose hope Upon the Lord relies; Who follows not the proud, nor those That turn aside to lies.

Verse 5

O Lord, what wonders hast thou wrought, All number far above: Thy thoughts to us-ward overflow With mercy, grace, and love.
