1 O blessed souls are they Whose sins are cover'd o'er! Divinely blest, to whom the Lord imputes their guilt no more.
2 They mourn their follies past, And keep their hearts with care; Their lips and lives without deceit, Shall prove their faith sincere.
3 While I conceal'd my guilt I felt the festering wound, Till I confess'd my sins to thee, And ready pardon found.
4 Let sinners learn to pray, Let saints keep near the throne; Our help in times of deep distress, Is found in God alone.
