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.
