XXXIIa | The Psalms of David#XXXIIb | XXXIIc |
1 Happy the man to whom his God
No more imputes his sin,
But wash'd in the Redeemer's blood
Hath made his garments clean!
2 Happy beyond expression, he
Whose debts are thus discharg'd;
And from the guilty bondage free
He feels his soul enlarged.
3 His spirit hates deceit and lies,
His words are all sincere:
He guards his heart, he guards his eyes,
To keep his conscience clear.
4 While I my inward guilt supprest,
No quiet could I find;
Thy wrath lay burning in my breast,
And rack'd my tortur'd mind.
5 Then I confess'd my troubled tho'ts,
My secret sins reveal'd;
Thy pard'ning grace forgave my faults,
Thy grace my pardon seal'd.
6 This shall invite thy saints to pray;
When like a raging flood
Temptations rise, our strength and stay
Is a forgiving God.
