Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #77 (2000) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest 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 heav'ns
our life and peace to bring,
to dwell in lowliness with us,
our pattern and our King.
3 Still to the lowly soul
he doth 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. Topics: Faith, Trust and Commitment; Hope and Consolation; Year A All Saints' Day; Year A Proper 21; Year B Palm Sunday: Liturgy of the Passion Scripture: Matthew 5:8 Languages: English Tune Title: FRANCONIA
