LyicsBLEST are the pure in heart,
For they shall see our God;
The secret of the Lord is theirs;
Their soul is his abode.
Still to the lowly soul
He doth himself impart,
And for his temple and his throne
Chooseth the pure in heart.
Lord, we thy presence seek:
May ours this blessing be;
O give the pure and lowly heart,-
A temple meet for thee.
