Blest Is He Who Cries To Heaven

Author: P. C. Paulsen Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #172 (1927) Lyrics: 1 Blest is he who cries to heaven In the dark and evil day, Whose transgressions are forgiven And whose sins are wash'd away; Blest, when God to him imputeth Not iniquity nor sin, When no hidden guile polluteth Spirit, heart, and soul within. 2 Long I kept in silence groaning, While my bones wax'd weak and old; Long my heart with grief was moaning And to Thee, O God was cold. Day and night Thy hand oppress'd me, Moisture turn'd to summer-drought, My transgressions sore distress'd me, While in vain I comfort sought. 3 When from Thee no longer hiding I confess'd my sin to Thee, And, to Thee my grief confiding, Thou in love forgavest me. Now my heart is fill'd with gladness, Thou surroundest me with grace; Songs of joy dispel my sadness, For Thou art my hiding-place. 4 Lord, instruct and teach me ever In the way that I shall go; With Thy counsel me deliver From the cunning of the foe. For Thy grace and mercy tender, For Thy Table and Thy Word, Thanks to heaven I will render And forever praise Thee, Lord.
