Forgiveness Freedom

Fits tune: Serenity

('Immortal love, forever full')

Based on part of Psalm 32

*********

Blessed they whose sins forgiven are

Whether from near or far

Near Jews, far Gentiles, all may share

In this sweet heavenly fare

 

Blessed they whose sins imputed not

To them, they have better lot

The Lord He counts their sins not, so

Forgiveness, grace, they know

 

My sin I acknowledged unto you

Lord, you knew my state true

As I confessed, you came to my aid

My ransom-price have paid

 

You forgive, forget, in you I hide

In your love, comfort, reside

As we repent, we do decide

To your presence confide

 

For you will instruct, teach us the way

We should go on each day

Your eyes shall be upon us sure

To guide us evermore

 

Many sorrows to wicked shall be

But trust in the Lord shall we

And so find mercy, gladness and joy

Our praises to Him now employ
