Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #XXXII (1793) 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 may'st 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,
ye that would truth's safe path descry;
Your progress I'll securely guide,
Aad 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 triumph shall employ;
Let them, as they alone have cause,
in grateful raptures shout for joy.
