I waited for the Lord
my God |
 |
Tune: |
Kilmarnock |
|
Metre: |
Common Metre |

I
waited for the Lord my God,
And
patiently did bear;
At
length to me he did incline
My
voice and cry to hear.
He
took me from a fearful pit,
And
from the miry clay,
And
on a rock he set my feet,
Establishing
my way.
He
put a new song in my mouth,
Our
God to magnify:
Many
shall see it, and shall fear,
And
on the Lord rely.
O
blessèd is the man, whose trust
Upon
the Lord relies;
Respecting
not the proud, nor such
As
turn aside to lies.
To
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The
God whom we adore,
Be
glory, as it was, and is,
And
shall be evermore.
