Repentance and free pardon. <br /> <br />Blest is the man, for ever blest, <br />Whose guilt is pardoned by his God; <br />Whose sins with sorrow are confessed, <br />And covered with his Savior's blood. <br /> <br />Blest is the man to whom the Lord <br />Imputes not his iniquities; <br />He pleads no merit of reward, <br />And not on works, but grace relies. <br /> <br />From guile his heart and lips are free; <br />His humble joy, his holy fear, <br />With deep repentance well agree, <br />And join to prove his faith sincere. <br /> <br />How glorious is that righteousness <br />That hides and cancels all his sins, <br />While a bright evidence of grace <br />Through his whole life appears and shine!<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-32-part-1/
