Grace and Gratitude

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Righteous Blessedness of First Line: I waited for the Lord Most High Lyrics: 1 I waited for the Lord Most High, And He inclined to hear my cry; He took me from destruction's pit And from the miry clay; Upon a rock He set my feet, And steadfast made my way. 2 A new and joyful song of praise He taught my thankful heart to raise; And many, seeing me restored, Shall fear the Lord and trust; And blest are they that trust the Lord, The humble and the just. 3 O Lord my God, how manifold Thy wondrous works which I behold, And all Thy loving, gracious thought Thou hast bestowed on man; To count Thy mercies I have sought, But boundless is their span. 4 Not sacrifice delights the Lord, But he who hears and keeps His word; Thou gavest me to hear Thy will, Thy law is in my heart; I come the Scripture to fulfill, Glad tidings to impart.

Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: ELLERTON
