The Psalms of David ‎#XXXIIa

XXXIIa. Forgiveness of Sins upon Confession

1 O blessed souls are they
Whose sins are cover'd o'er!
Divinely blest to whom the Lord
Imputes their guilt no more.

2 They mourn their follies past,
And keep their hearts with care;
Their lips and lives without deceit,
Shall prove their faith sincere.

3 While I conceal'd my guilt,
I felt the fest'ring wound;
'Till I confess'd my sins to thee,
And ready pardon found.

4 Let sinners learn to pray,
Let saints keep near the throne;
Our help, in times of deep distress,
Is found in God alone.
