Blest are they who with true passion strive to make the right prevail, for the earth is God's possession and his purpose will not fail. 3 Blest are they who show their mercy to the guilty and the poor, for to them, set free from judgment, shall be opened heaven's door. Blessed, the sincere and truthful from the lie's deception free, for the God of truth and beauty they in joy will surely see. 4 Blessed are the brave and peaceful, bringing peace where'er they live, God shall own them as his children and through them his peace will give.
