S.M.

BLESSED are the pure in heart

For they shall see our God:

The secret of the Lord is theirs,

Their soul is Christ’s abode.

2

The Lord, who left the heavens

Our life and peace to bring,

To dwell in lowliness with me,

Their pattern and their King:

3

He to the lowly soul

Doth still Himself impart,

And for His dwelling and His throne

Chooseth the pure in heart.

4

Lord, we Thy presence seek;

May ours this blessing be;

Give us a pure and lowly heart,

A temple meet for Thee.
