How Blest Are They Whose Trespass
Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Wisdom Psalms Lyrics: 1 How blest are they whose trespass
has freely been forgiven,
whose sins are wholly covered
before the sight of heaven.
Blest they to whom the LORD God
does not impute their sin,
who have a guileless spirit,
whose heart is true within.
2 While I kept guilty silence,
my strength was spent with grief:
your hand was heavy on me;
my soul found no relief.
But when I owned my trespass
and did not hide my sin,
then you forgave my guilt, LORD,
restored my life within.
3 So let the godly seek you
in times when you are near;
no whelming floods shall reach them
or cause their hearts to fear.
O LORD, you are my refuge,
you are my hiding place,
and you surround me always
with songs of saving grace.
4 "I graciously will teach you
the way that you should go,
and, with my eye upon you,
help you my counsel know.
Then do not be unruly
or slow to understand;
be not perverse, but willing
to heed my wise command."
5 The sorrows of the wicked
increase from year to year,
but those who trust the LORD God
know love instead of fear.
Then in the LORD be joyful,
in song lift up your voice;
be glad in God, you righteous:
rejoice, O saints, rejoice!
Scripture: Psalm 32 Used With Tune: RUTHERFORD Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

a shining light, it guides my feet.
Your righteous judgments to observe,
my solemn vow I now repeat.
2 In my distress I plead with you;
send help according to your word.
Accept my sacrifice of praise
and make me know your judgments, LORD.
3 When danger brings me close to death,
your law stays with me night and day.
The wicked lay a snare for me,
yet from your truth I will not stray.

they make my heart and soul rejoice.
To keep your statutes faithfully
shall ever be my willing choice.

the wonders of your hand.

to you, creation's Lord.

to do its Maker's will;
the stars with solemn voices
resound your praises still.

be, LORD, my strength, my Savior,
a ceaseless song to you. Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: FAITHFUL

in trouble and in joy,
the praises of my God shall still
my heart and tongue employ.
Of his deliv'rance I will boast,
till all that are distressed,
from my example comfort take
and lay their griefs to rest.
2 O magnify the LORD with me,
exalt his holy name;
when in distress to him I called,
he to my rescue came.
The hosts of God encamp around
the dwellings of the just;
deliv'rance he affords to all
who in his promise trust.
3 O taste and see that he is good;
experience will decide
how blest are they, and only they
who in the LORD confide.
Fear him, you saints, and you will then
have nothing else to fear;
make serving him your sole delight,
your wants shall be his care. Scripture: Psalm 34 Used With Tune: FOND DU LAC
