The Beatitudes
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5:3-12 First Line: Blest are the humble souls that see Lyrics: 1 Blest are the humble souls that see
their emptiness and poverty;
treasures of grace to them are giv'n,
and crowns of joy laid up in heaven.
2 Blest are the men of broken heart,
who mourn for sin with inward smart;
the blood of Christ divinely flows,
a healing balm for all their woes.
3 Blest are the meek, who stand afar
from rage and passion, noise and war;
God will secure their happy state,
and plead their cause against the great.
4 Blest are the souls that thirst for grace,
hunger and long for righteousness;
they shall be well supplied, and fed
with living streams and living bread.
5 Blest are the men whose heart do move
and melt with sympathy and love;
from Christ the Lord shall they obtain
like sympathy and love again.
6 Blest are the pure, whose hearts are clean
from the defiling pow'rs of sin;
with endless pleasure they shall see
a God of spotless purity.
7 Blest are the men of peaceful life,
who quench the coals of growing strife;
they shall be called the heirs of bliss,
the sons of God, the God of peace.
8 Blest are the suff'rers who partake
of pain and shame for Jesus' sake;
their souls shall triumph in the Lord,
glory and joy are their reward.

Author: John of Damascus, 8th c.; John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 518 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5:8 Lyrics: 1 The day of resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad;
the Passover of gladness,
the Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
from sin's dominion free,
our Christ has brought us over
with hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection light;
and, listening to his accents,
may hear, so calm and plain,
his own "all hail" and, hearing,
may raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful!
Let earth its song begin!
The world resound in triumph,
and all that is therein;
let all things seen and unseen
their notes of gladness blend;
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our Joy that has no end. Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE

Take Us As We Are, O God
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5:13-14 Lyrics: 1 Take us as we are, O God,
and claim us as your own.
As once you chose to tell your love
in human flesh and bone,
so let our lives be used to make
your saving purpose known.
2 Bless us for your service, Lord;
no power we devise
will ever give us strength enough
or make us truly wise,
yet by your promise we can know
the peace your grace supplies.
3 Break us open to disclose
how brokenness can heal,
wherever broken loaves suffice
to give a crowd a meal
and graves break open to release
new life from death’s dread seal.
4 Give us to the world you love
as light and salt and yeast,
that we may nourish in your name
the last, the lost, the least,
until at length you call us all
to your unending feast.

This is My Father's World
Author: Maltbie D. Babcock Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 318 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5:45 Lyrics: 1 This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.
2 This is my Father's world:
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world:
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere.
3 This is my Father's world:
Oh, let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father's world:
The battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heaven be one.
