PSALM 32. Second Part. (L. M.) A guilty Conscience eased by Confession and Pardon.
I
While I keep silence, and concealMy heavy guilt within my heart,
What torments doth my conscience feel!
What agonies of inward smart!
II
I spread my sins before the Lord,And all my secret faults confess;
Thy gospel speaks a pardoning word,
Thine holy Spirit seals the grace.
III
For this shall every humble soulMake swift addresses to thy seat;
When floods of huge temptations roll,
There shall they find a blest retreat.
IV
How safe beneath thy wings I lie,When days grow dark, and storms appear!
And when I walk, thy watchful eye
Shall guide me safe from every snare.
