Blessed are the mourning children: comfort comes from One who cares. Blessed the meek and patient, having courage to hang on. Soon all earth they will inherit; times of trials will be gone. 2 Blessed all who thirst or hunger: righteously they will be fed. Those who respond with mercy will see mercy up ahead. Blessed the clean in spirit - beautiful, the pure in heart; One day they will see their Maker, nevermore to live apart. 3 Each seeking peace and justice shall be known as God's own heir. Blessed, too, are those ill-treated for what's good and right and fair. Blessed in New Creation, joy beyond what we conceive; Blessed all those who trust the promise: without seeing, they believe!
