Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #237 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship First Line: Bless'd is the man, forever bless'd Lyrics: 1 Bless'd is the man, forever bless'd,
Whose guilt is pardon'd by his God,
Whose sins with sorrow are confess'd,
And cover'd 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 a bright the evidence of grace
Through all his life appears and shines. Topics: The Christian His Conversion Languages: English
