Psalms of Grace ‎#32d

32d. Bless'd is the Man

Part 1 -
1 Bless'd is the man, supremely bless'd,
Whose wickedness is all forgiven,
Who finds in Jesus’ wounds his rest,
And sees the smiling face of heaven.

2 Bless'd is the man, to whom his LORD
No more imputes iniquity,
Whose spirit is by grace restored,
From all the guile of Satan free.

3 But while through pride I held my tongue,
Nor owned my helpless unbelief,
My bones were wasted all day long,
My strength consumed with pining grief.

4 Resolved at last, to God, I cried,
"My sins I will at large confess;
My shame I will no longer hide,
My depth of desperate wickedness."

5 "All will I own unto my LORD,
Without reserve, or cloaking art:"
I said; and felt the pardoning word,
Thy mercy spoke it to my heart.

6 For this shall every child of God
Thy power and faithful love declare,
And claim the grace on all bestowed
Who make to Thee their timely prayer.

Part 2 -
1 You are my hiding-place; in Thee
I rest secure from sin and guilt;
Safe in the love that ransomed me,
And sheltered in Thy wounds I dwell.

2 Still shall Thy grace to me abound;
The countless wonders of Thy grace
I still shall tell to all around,
And sing my great Deliverer’s praise.

3 "I will instruct thy child-like heart,"
(My Teacher said, forever nigh)
“Nor let thee from my paths depart,
But guide thee with my gracious eye."

4 "Only my gracious look obey,
And yield my perfect will to approve,
Nor cast my easy yoke away,
Nor stop thine ears against my love."

5 Ye faithful souls, rejoice in Him
Whose arms are still your sure defense;
Your LORD is mighty to redeem:
Believe, and who shall pluck you thence?
