The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#653

653. Blest are the pure in heart

1 Blest are the pure in heart;
For they our God shall see,
And from his presence ne'er depart
Through all eternity.

2 I will be their delight
Who here delight in me,
And they shall walk with me in white
Who seek for purity.

3 No more in thought they err,
They're free from every stain;
They've washed their robes of character,
And spotless they remain.

4 O bliss for what we've sought
From sin to be secure!
In every word, and act, and thought,
Forever to be pure.
