O, Blest In Spirit Are The Poor
Author: Paul H. Sweetser Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12792 Lyrics: 1 O, blest in spirit are the poor;
The heav’nly kingdom they possess;
And they that mourn shall mourn no more,
The mourners, God will surely bless.
2 The meek in heart the Lord will bless,
And they shall dwell in all the land;
And those who thirst for righteousness,
They shall be filled from God’s own hand.
3 O, blessed are the merciful,
For mercy they shall sure obtain;
And blessed are the pure in soul,
For they God’s favor shall reclaim.
4 O blest are they who strive for peace,
For they shall be the Lord’s delight;
The heav’nly kingdom shall increase,
In those who suffer for the right.
5 O blest are they whom men revile,
And persecute for Jesus’ sake—
They shall rejoice in God’s own smile,
And rich rewards from Heav Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY HILL
