Henry J. Zelley, 1898
[Key: Bb]

 

Verse 1
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.

 

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 today,
A song of praise, hallelujah!

 

Verse 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
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!

 

Verse 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
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!

 

Verse 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.

 

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 today,
A song of praise, hallelujah!
