GRH 426 Blest Are the Pure in Heart

(1)
Blest are the pure in heart,
For they shall see their 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 men,
Their pattern and their king.

(3)
Still to the lowly soul,
He doth Himself impart,
And for His dwelling and His throne
Chooseth the pure in hearth.

(4)
Lord, we Thy presence seek:
May ours this blessing be;
Give us a pure and lowly heart,
A temple meet for Thee.
