Tune: Franconia
(\'Blest are the pure in heart\')
Psalm 32 v.1-5
***********
Blessed are they whose sins are
Forgiven, now afar
Removed they are, for Christ did take
Them, our path to God make
Blessed are they whose sins be
Not imputed them, see
Not counted up, nor record kept
Who Christ\'s offering accept
His place there on the tree
The cross, for you and me
His place for me, now I set free
My sins forgiven be
Made pure, made clean within
No guile my soul, no sin
To hold back sins cause pain and strife
Adn hindrance to our life
But if we do confess
Christ will come to us, bless
Wash us from sin in crimson tide
No atoning beside [Him]
