Poor in Spirit, Pure in Heart

lyricist: Fanny Crosby (1820–1915)
Composer: Bentley Ackley, 1917

Poor in spir­it

pure in heart

Living all for Thee;

Meek and low­ly as Thou art

Savior

I would be.

Thou who know­est all my care

Help me thro’ this world of sin;

Patiently my cross to bear

Till the crown of life I win.

Poor in spir­it

pure in heart

Precious words of Thine;

They shall see Thy face ab­ove

May that joy be mine.

Poor in spir­it

pure in heart

Keep

O keep my soul;

Let me feel Thy bound­less love

Like an ocean roll.

Poor in spir­it

pure in heart

Then my tri­als past;

Thou hast pro­mised I shall sing

Victory at last.
