Psalm 32:1–2 (Listen)

Blessed Are the Forgiven

    and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Hymn: TLH 141, st. 1,4-5 :
Enslaved by Sin and Bound in Chains

Hymnary.org — Organ Audio

1. Enslaved by sin and bound in chains,
Beneath its dreadful tyrant sway,
And doomed to everlasting pains,
We wretched, guilty captives lay.

4. Jesus the Sacrifice became
To rescue guilty souls from hell;
The spotless, bleeding, dying Lamb
Beneath avenging Justice fell.

5. Amazing goodness! Love divine!
Oh, may our grateful hearts adore
The matchless grace nor yield to sin
Nor wear its cruel fetters more!
