Blessed Are
Blessed are the poor in spirit
God has faithfully revealed
That the riches of the kingdom
With their souls in Christ are sealed
Blessed are the grieved, the weeping
Those whose tears for others cry
Selfless, giving, bearing sorrow
Will be dancing by and by
Those who hunger and are thirsty
Craving righteousness and life
Won't be filled by any other
Satisfied by none by Christ
Blessed are the meek and gentle
No demands, no claims to rights
In their patience, strong and mighty
Confidence and faith in Christ
And to those of tender mercy
From them falls as gentle rain
Grace and Kindness, sweet compassion
Mercy given and mercy gained
Blessed are the true peacemakers
With contentment for the fold
They cling to promises of heaven
Working in the field of souls
Blessed are...
