The Hymnal of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America 1940 418. Blest are the pure in heart

418. Blest are the pure in heart

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 heav'ns
Our life and peace to bring,
To dwell in lowliness with mwn,
Their pattern and their King;

3 He to the lowly soul
Doth still himself impart;
And for a dwelling and a 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 fit for thee.

Amen.
