411. I Waited for The Lord

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.
