16463. Poor In Spirit, Pure In Heart

1 Poor in spir­it, pure in heart,
Living all for Thee;
Meek and low­ly as Thou art,
Savior, I would be.

Refrain:
Thou who know­est all my care
Help me thro’ this world of sin;
Patiently my cross to bear,
Till the crown of life I win.

2 Poor in spir­it, pure in heart,
Precious words of Thine;
They shall see Thy face ab­ove,
May that joy be mine. [Refrain]

3 Poor in spir­it, pure in heart,
Keep, O keep my soul;
Let me feel Thy bound­less love,
Like an ocean roll. [Refrain]

4 Poor in spir­it, pure in heart,
Then my tri­als past;
Thou hast pro­mised I shall sing
Victory at last. [Refrain]
