Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #602 (2013) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Matthias the Apostle 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 heavens
our life and peace to bring,
to dwell in lowliness with men,
their pattern and their 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. Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 Languages: English Tune Title: FRANCONIA
Blest are the pure in heart
