I Waited for the Lord My God

Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: Praise and Testimony Lyrics: 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. 2 He took me from a fearful pit And from the miry clay, And on a rock He set my feet, Establishing my way. 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. 4 O blessed is the man whose trust Upon the Lord relies; Respecting not the proud, nor such As turn aside to lies. 5 O Lord my God, full many are The wonders Thou hast done; Thy gracious thoughts to us-ward far Above all thoughts are gone. 6 Thy tender mercies, Lord, from me O do Thou not restrain; Thy loving-kindness, and Thy truth, let them me still maintain.
