Author: John Keble Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 400 hymnals Topics: Personal Religion Penitence 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 heav'ns
Our life and peace to bring,
To dwell in lowliness with mwn,
Their pattern and their King;
3 He to the lowly soul
Doth still himself impart;
And for a dwelling and a 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 fit for thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: FRANCONIA
Blest are the pure in heart
