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 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 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.

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!

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.

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!
