Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 32 First Line: Blest are the penitent, who feel Lyrics: 1. Blest are the penitent, who feel
Their sins are all forgiv'n;
Thrice blest the souls whom Jesus heals
And fills with hopes of Heav'n.
2. Before his feet in dread despair
A culprit long I lay,
But when I prayed he heard my pray'r
And turned my night to day.
3. O seek him, all ye sinners round,
Fall low before his face!
O seek him while he may be found
And share alike his grace!
4. ’Tis ours to pray, ’tis his to bless;
The Lord is ever nigh
To guide us through the wilderness
And land us safe on high. Topics: Lent Penitential Psalms Used With Tune: EVAN I
