Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #309 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man, forever blest,
Whose guilt is pardoned by his God,
Whose sins with sorrow are confessed,
And covered with his Savior's blood.
2 Blest is the man to whom the Lord
Imputes not his iniquities;
He pleads no merit of reward,
And not on works, but grace relies.
3 From guile his heart and lips are free,
His humble joy, his holy fear,
With deep repentance well agree,
And join to prove his faith sincere.
4 How glorious is that righteousness
That hides and cancels all his sins!
While a bright the evidence of grace
Through all his life appears and shines. Topics: Faith and Justification Languages: English
