Blest are the pure in heart
Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 399 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 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. Topics: All Saints' (Sun)day Year A; Humility; Jesus Life and Ministry; Other Saints and Festivals Matthias the Apostle; Proper 17 Year B; Purity Of Heart; The Fourth Sunday before Lent Year C Used With Tune: FRANCONIA
Blest are the pure in heart
Built on the Rock
Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Döving Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 First Line: Built on the Rock, the church shall stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock, the church shall stand
even when steeples are falling;
Christ builds his church in every land;
bells still are chiming and calling,
calling the young and old to rest,
calling the souls of those distressed,
longing for life everlasting.
2 Not in a temple made with hands
God the Almighty is dwelling;
high in the heavens his temple stands,
all earthly temples excelling.
Yet he who dwells in heaven above
chooses to live with us in love,
making our bodies his temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
built for his own habitation;
he fills our hearts, his humble thrones,
granting us life and salvation.
Yet to this place, an earthly frame,
we come with thanks to praise his name;
God grants his people true blessing.
