Bless’d are the pure in heart

lyricist: John Keble
Composer: Charles Lockhart

Bless’d are the pure in heart

For they shall see our God;

The secret of the Lord is theirs

Their heart is Christ’s abode.

The Lord

who left the heavens

Our life and peace to bring

To dwell in lowliness with men

Their pattern and their King.

He to the lowly soul

Doth still Himself impart

And for His dwelling and His throne

Chooseth the pure in heart.

Lord

we Thy presence seek;

May ours this blessing be;

Give us a pure and lowly heart

A temple meet for Thee.
