Author: Rusty Edwards Meter: 7.7.7.7.6.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Luke 6:20-23 Lyrics: 1 Blessed are the poor in spirit:
heaven will someday be theirs.
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! Topics: Comfort and Assurance; Epiphany; The Beatitudes; Year A Epiphany 4; Year A All Saints; Year C Epiphany 6; Year C All Saints Used With Tune: ANNIKA'S DANCE
