1 Bless'd is the man, forever bless'd,
whose guilt is pardoned by his God;
whose sins with sorrow are confessed
and covered with his Savior's blood.
2 Bless'd 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 bright the evidence of grace
through his whole life appears and shines!
