Author: Rev. H. J. Zelley; H. L. G. Hymnal: Christ in Song #192 (1908) First Line: My heart was distress'd 'neath Jehovah's dread frown Refrain First Line: He brought me out of the miry clay Lyrics: 1 My heart was distress'd neath Jehovah's dread frown,
And low in the pit where my sins dragg'd me down;
I cried to the Lord from the deep miry clay,
Who tenderly brought me out to golden day.
Chorus:
He brought me out of the miry clay,
He set my feet on the Rock to stay;
He puts a song in my soul to-day,
A song of praise, hallelujah!
2 He placed me upon the strong Rock by His side,
My steps were established and here I'll abide;
No danger of falling while here I remain,
But stand by His grace until the crown I gain. [Chorus]
3 He gave me a song, 'twas a new song of praise.
By day and by night its sweet notes I will raise;
My heart's overflowing, I'm happy and free,
I'll praise my Redeemer, who has rescued me. [Chorus]
4 I'll sing of His wonderful mercy to me,
I'll praise Him till all men His goodness shall see;
I'll sing of salvation at home and abroad,
Till many shall hear the truth and trust in God.
