Psalm 32 (Version 1)

O blessed souls are they

Whose sins are cover'd o'er!

Divinely blest, to whom the Lord

imputes their guilt no more.

They mourn their follies past,

And keep their hearts with care;

Their lips and lives without deceit,

Shall prove their faith sincere.

While I conceal'd my guilt

I felt the festering wound,

Till I confess'd my sins to thee,

And ready pardon found.

Let sinners learn to pray,

Let saints keep near the throne;

Our help in times of deep distress,

Is found in God alone.
