LyicsBlest 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 heav'n.
Blest are the men of broken heart,
Who mourn for sin with inward smart;
The blood of Christ most freely flows,
A healing balm for all their woes.
Blest are the meek, who stand afar
From rage and passion, strife and war-
God will secure their happy state,
And plead their cause against the great.
Blest are the souls that thirst for grace,
Hunger and long for righteousness;
They shall be well supply'd and fed,
With living streams and living bread.
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.
