He Brought Me Out

My heart was dis­tressed

’Neath Je­ho­vah’s dread frown

And low in the pit where my sins dragged me down;

I cried to the Lord from the deep mi­ry clay

Who ten­der­ly brought me out to gold­en day.

He brought me out of the mi­ry clay

He set my feet on the Rock to stay;

He puts a song in my soul to­day

A song of praise

hal­le­lu­jah!

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.

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.

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.
