He's blest, whose Sins have Pardon gained

Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #59 (1754) Lyrics: 1 He's blest, whose Sins have Pardon gain'd. No more in Judgment to appear; 2 Whose Guilt Remission has obtain'd And whose Repentance is sincere. 3 While I concel'd the fretting Sore, My Bones consum'd without Relief; All Day did I with Anguish roar; But no Complaints asswag'd my Grief. 4 Heavy on me thy Hand remain'd, By Day and Night alike distress'd; Till quite of vital Moisture drain'd, Like Land with Summer's Drought oppress'd. 5 No sooner I my Wound disclos'd, The Guilt that tortur'd me within, But thy Forgiveness interpos'd, And Mercy's healing Balm pour'd in. 6 True Penitents shall thus succeed, Who seek Thee whilst Thou mayst be found; And, from the common Deluge freed, Shall see remorseless Sinners drown'd. 7 Thy Favour, Lord, in all Distress, My Tow'r of Refuge I must own: Thou shalt my haughty Foes suppress, And me with songs of Triumph crown. 8 In my Instruction then confide, You that would Truth's safe Path descry: Your Progress I'll securely guide, And keep you in my watchful Eye. 9 Submit yourselves to Wisdom's Rule, Like Men that Reason have attain'd; Not like th' ungovern'd Horse and Mule, Whose Fury must be curb'd and rein'd. 10 Sorrows, on Sorrows multiply'd, The harden'd Sinner shall confound; But them who in his Truth confide, Blessings of Mercy shall surround. 11 His Saints, that have perform'd his Laws, Their Life in Triumphs shall employ: Let them (as they alone have Cause) In grateful Raptures shout for Joy.
