Author: John Keble, 1792-1866; William John Hall, 1793-1861 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #493 (2004) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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 us,
our pattern and our King;
3 Still to the lowly soul
Himself He will impart,
and for His dwelling and His throne
chooses the pure in heart.
4 Lord, we Your presence seek —
we ask this blessing, too;
give us a pure and lowly heart,
a temple meet for You. Languages: English Tune Title: FRANCONIA
Blessed are the pure in heart
