Repentance and Free Pardon

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 32

Verse 1

Bless'd is the man, forever bless'd, whose guilt is pardoned by his God; whose sins with sorrow are confessed and covered with his Savior's blood.

Verse 2

Bless'd is the man to whom the LORD imputes not his iniquities; he pleads no merit of reward and not on works, but grace relies.

Verse 3

From guile his heart and lips are free; his humble joy, his holy fear, with deep repentance well agree and join to prove his faith sincere.

Verse 4

How glorious is that righteousness that hides and cancels all his sins, while bright the evidence of grace through his whole life appears and shines!
