How bless’d the man, with mercy crown’d,
Whose sins have all forgiveness found!
Whose deep transgressions, cover’d o’er
With pard’ning blood, are seen no more!
How bless’d the man, to who the Lord
Doth his own righteousness afford!
Whom mercy clears from ev’ry sin,
Whose heart conceals no guile within.
I made my guilt and sorrows known,
With deep contrition, at thy throne:
I said, “I’ll all my sins confess:
And seek thy grace and righteousness.”
Scarce had my breast the thought conceiv’d
Thy grace my anxious fears reliev’d;
Cleans’d my whole soul with blood divine,
And seal’d thy pard’ning mercy mine.
Oh boundless love! the rich display
Shall teach the trembling lips to pray;
The penitent, with godly fear,
Shall plead, while Mercy waits to hear.
