| Lyrics: Psalm 32paraphrased in sonnet by Francesco Bembo,english'd by R.H. Blessed are they whose faults (so oft forbidden) Have free forgiveness, and a full remission: And they whose sins (of act and of omission) Are not imputed, but in mercy hidden. Therefore my crime I have confessed before thee; Which graciously (my God) thou hast forgiven: The more therefore I laud thee (King of heaven And all thy saints shall in due time adore thee, O thou my refuge and my consolation, Deliver me my God which art almighty: From enemies that envy my salvation. A many rods pursue the sinner (rightly) But those that place in thee their expectation, Grace shall embrace. Joy ye that walk uprightly. |
