Author: John Keble Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #459a (1899) Lyrics: 1 Blest are the pure in heart,
For they shall see their 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 men,
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;
Oh, give the pure and lowly heart,--
A temple meet for Thee.
Amen. Topics: Blessedness of the Righteous; Happiness; Purity; Righteousness Blessings of Languages: English Tune Title: GILDAS
