"A Selection of Songs Based on Psalm
32"
Psalm 32
Words: The Psalter Hymnal
7,6 7,6 D
In "The Psalter Hymnal," these words are sung to:
1 How blest is he whose trespass
Has freely been forgiven,
whose sin is wholly covered
Before the sight of heaven.
Blest he to whom Jehova
Will not impute his sin,
Who has 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 fo fear.
In thee, O Lord, I hide 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 Mine 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!
