How Blest Is He Whose Trespass

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Christians Blessedness of; Confession and repentance; Joy; Sin and Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 How blest is he whose trespass hath freely been forgiv'n, whose sin is wholly covered before the sight of heav'n. Blest he to whom Jehovah will not impute his sin, who hath a guileless spirit, whose heart is true within. 2 While I kept guilty silence, my strength was spent with grief; thy hand was heavy on me, my soul found no relief. But when I owned my trespass, my sin hid not from thee, when I confessed transgression, then thou forgavest me. 3 So let the godly seek thee in times when thou art near; no whelming floods shall reach them, nor cause their hearts to fear. In thee, O Lord, I hid me, thou savest me from ill, and songs of thy salvation my heart with rapture thrill. 4 I graciously will teach thee the way that thou shalt go, and with my eye upon thee my counsel make thee know. But be ye not unruly or slow to understand; be not perverse, but willing to heed my wise command. 5 The sorrows of the wicked in number shall abound, but those that trust Jehovah, his mercy shall surround. Then in the Lord be joyful, in song lift up your voice; be glad in God, ye righteous; rejoice, ye saints, rejoice. Scripture: Psalm 32 Used With Tune: RUTHERFORD Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Stone Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 222 hymnals Topics: Christian Life; Confession and repentance; Sin and Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look at heav'n and long to enter in; but there no evil thing may find a home; and yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." 2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand in the pure glory of that holy land? Before the whiteness of that throne appear? Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near. 3 The while I fain would tread the heav'nly way, evil is ever with me day by day; yet on my ears the gracious tidings fall, "Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all." 4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear; his are the hands stretched out to draw me near, and his the blood that can for all atone and set me faultless there before the throne. 5 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear the lowliest garb of penitence and pray'r, that in the Father's courts my glorious dress may be the garment of thy righteousness. 6 Yea, thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord; thine all the merits, mine the great reward; thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown; mine the life won, and thine the life laid down.
