“Blessed Are the Pure in Heart”
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.
The Lord, who left the heavens
our life and peace to bring,
to dwell in lowliness with us,
our pattern and our King;
Still to the lowly soul
Himself He will impart,
and for His dwelling and His throne
chooses the pure in heart.
Lord, we Your presence seek —
we ask this blessing, too;
give us a pure and lowly heart,
a temple meet for You.
~ lyrics by John Keble
