A guilty Conscience eased by Confession and Pardon
Lord, how secure muy Conscience was
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXV (1766) Topics: Conscience secure awakened Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my Conscience was,
And felt no inward Dread!
I was alive without the Law,
And thought my Sins were dead.
2 My Hopes of Heav'n were firm and bright,
But since the Precept came,
With a convincing Pow'r and Light,
I find how vile I am.
[3 My Guilt appear'd but small before,
Till terribly I saw
How Perfect, Holy, Just, and Pure,
Was thine eternal Law.
4 Then felt my Soul the heavy Load;
My Sins reviv'd again
I had provok'd a dreadful God,
And all my Hopes were slain.]
5 I'm like a helpless Captive sold,
Under the Pow'r of Sin;
I cannot do the Good I would,
Nor keep my Conscience clean.
6 My God, I cry with ev'ry Breath
For some kind Pow'r to save,
To break the Yoke of Sin and Death,
And thus redeem the Slave. Scripture: Romans 5:8-9 Languages: English

Restore thy servant, Lord,
Nor let a Father’s chastening prove
Like an avenger’s sword.
2 Thine arrows stick within my heart,
My flesh is sorely prest;
Between the sorrow and the smart
My spirit finds no rest.
3 My sins a heavy load appear,
And o’er my head are gone;
Too heavy they for me to bear,
Too hard for me t’atone.
4 My thoughts are like a troubled sea,
That sinks my comforts down;
And I go mourning all the day
Beneath my Father’s frown.
5 Lord, I am weaken'd and dismay'd,
None of my powers are whole;
My wounds with piercing anguish bleed,
The anguish of my soul.
6 All my desire to thee are known,
Thine eye counts every tear,
And every sigh and every groan
Is notic'd by thine ear.
7 Thou art my God, my only hope;
My God will hear my cry,
My God will bear my spirit up
When Satan bids me die.
8 My foes rejoice whene'er I slide,
To see my virtue fail;
They raise their pleasure and their pride,
Whene'er their wiles prevail.
9 But I’ll confess my guilty ways,
And grieve for all my sin;
I’ll mourn how weak the seeds of grace,
And beg support divine.
10 My God, forgive my follies past,
And be forever nigh;
O Lord of my salvation haste,
Before thy servant die. Scripture: Psalm 38 Languages: English

Let a repenting rebel live;
Are not thy mercies large and free?
May not a sinner trust in thee?
2 My crimes are great, but can't surpass
The power and glory of thy grace:
Great God, thy nature hath no bound,
So let thy pardoning love be found?
3 Oh wash my soul from every sin,
And make my guilty conscience clean;
Here on my heart the burden lies,
And past offenses pain mine eyes.
4 My lips with shame my sins confess
Against thy law, against thy grace;
Lord, should thy judgement grow severe,
I am condemn'd, but thou art clear.
5 Should sudden vengeance seize my breath,
I must pronounce thee just in death;
And if my soul were sent to hell,
Thy righteous law approves it well.
6 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord,
Whose hope, still hovering round thy word,
Would light on some sweet promise there,
Some sure support against despair. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English

No outward forms can make me clean;
The leprosy lies deep within.
5 No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast,
Nor hyssop-branch, nor sprinkling priest,
Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea,
Can wash the dismal stain away.
6 Jesus, my God, thy blood alone
Hath power sufficient to attone;
Thy blood can make me white as snow;
