[Refrain]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. [Refrain]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. [Refrain]5 I'll tell of the pit, with its gloom and despair.I'll praise the dear Father, who answered my prayer;I'll sing my new song, the glad story of love,Then join in the chorus with the saints above. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [My heart was distressed 'neath Jehovah's dread frown]
He Brought Me Out
