-While I my inward guilt suppressed,
-No quiet could I find;
-Thy wrath lay burning in my breast,
-And racked my tortured mind.
-Then I confessed my troubled thoughts,
-My secret sins revealed;
-Thy pardoning grace forgave my faults,
-Thy grace my pardon sealed.
-Happy the man to whom his God
-No more imputes his sin,
-But, washed in the Redeemer's blood,
-Hath made his garments clean!
-Happy beyond expression he
-Whose debts are thus discharged;
-And from the guilty bondage free,
-He feels his soul enlarged.
-His spirit hates deceit and lies,
-His words are all sincere;
-He guards his heart, he guards his eyes,
-To keep his conscience clear.
-This shall invite thy saints to pray;
-When like a raging flood
-Temptations rise, our strength and stay
-Is a forgiving God.
