First Line: While I keep silence and conceal Lyrics: 1 While I keep silence and conceal
My heavy guilt within my heart,
What torments doth my conscience feel!
What agonies of inward smart!
2 I spread my sins before the Lord,
And all my secret faults confess;
Thy gospel speaks a pardoning word,
Thine holy spirit seals the grace.
3 For this shall every humble soul
Make swift addresses to thy seat:
When floods of huge temptations roll,
There shall they find a blest retreat.
4 How safe beneath thy wings I lie,
When days grow dark and storms appear?
And when I walk, thy watchful eye
Shall guide me safe from every snare.
