| 32 (3) | Psalm 32 Version 3 | LM | |
| BLESSèD are they, supremely blest, Whose wickedness is all forgiven, Who find in Jesus’ wounds their rest, And see the smiling face of Heaven. |
|||
| 2 | Blessèd are they to whom the Lord No more imputes iniquity, Whose spirit is by grace restored, And from all lies and guile set free. |
||
| 3 | But while, through pride, I held my tongue, Nor owned my helpless unbelief, My being languished all day long, And conscience roared without relief. |
||
| 4 | Resolved, at last, to God I cried, ‘I will my evil ways confess, No more evade, or seek to hide My depth of shameful sinfulness.’ |
||
| 5 | For this shall every child of God, Thine all-surpassing love declare, And take the grace on all bestowed, Who pray the contrite sinner’s prayer. |
||
| 6 | Blessèd are they, supremely blest, Whose wickedness is all forgiven, Who find in Jesus’ wounds their rest, And see the smiling face of Heaven. |
