O bless?d souls are they Whose sins are covered o'er; Divinely blessed, to whom the Lord Imputes their guilt no more. They mourn their follies past, And keep their hearts with care; Their lips and lives without deceit Shall prove their faith sincere. While I concealed my guilt, I felt the painful wound, Till I confessed my sins to Thee, And ready pardon found. Let sinners learn to pray, Let saints keep near the throne; Our help in times of deep distress Is found in God alone.
