Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #341 (1986) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest are the pure in heart,
For they shall see our God,
The secret of the Lord is theirs,
Their soul is Christ's abode.
2 The Lord, who left the heavens
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 heart.
4 Lord, we thy presence seek;
May ours this blessing be;
Give us a pure and lowly heart,
A temple meet for thee. Languages: Latin Tune Title: FRANCONIA
Blest are the pure in heart
