Psalm 32 - "The happiness of true conversion"
 
1. How blest is he whose errors are corrected,
Whose past mistakes are forgotten at last;
From whom no hate or pride is e'er expected 
For from his thought all evil has been cast.
When I refus'd to say that I was straying,
Weakness and pain afflicted all my being;
By day and night I saw my wickedness,
My springs of life were turn'd into dryness. 
 
2. My humbled soul would finally admit it,
No longer hide from my Maker, my God;
I own'd my sin and openly confess'd it,
Then He forgave and wash'd me with his blood.
See! All you people, what the godly pray for:
Pureness of heart, and pardon they can't pay for,
But if you turn from His revealing voice 
Floods of destruction mark your final choice. 
 
3. To Thee I flee, Thou art my place of hiding,
I'm safe, secure from the trouble without;
When fear arises, music is your tiding,
Songs of deliv'rance compass me about.
Thou wilt instruct me and point out the pathway 
That I must travel to regain the lost light;
Thou wilt support me in the burning day,
And guide me safely through the murky night. 
 
4. The wicked shall be fill'd with many sorrows 
But he who trusts in the Lord up above 
Shall be protected throughout all tomorrows,
Circled around by mercy and by love.
Be glad, rejoice, you people who are upright;
Shout out for joy that He may hear your singing;
For He has made you precious in His sight,
So lift your hearts, this sacrifice bringing.
