1. Blest are the pure in heart,
1. Blest are the pure in heart,
  For they shall see our God;
For they shall see our God;
  The secret of the Lord is theirs;
The secret of the Lord is theirs;
  Their soul is Christ’s abode.
Their soul is Christ’s abode.


2. The Lord, who left the heavens
2. The Lord, who left the heavens
  Our life and peace to bring,
Our life and peace to bring,
  To dwell in lowliness with men
To dwell in lowliness with men
  Their Pattern and their King.
Their Pattern and their King.


3. Still to the lowly soul
3. Still to the lowly soul
  He doth Himself impart;
He doth Himself impart;
  And for His cradle and His throne
And for His cradle and His throne
  Chooseth the pure in heart.
Chooseth the pure in heart.


4. Lord, we Thy presence seek;
4. Lord, we Thy presence seek;
  May ours this blessing be;
May ours this blessing be;
  Give us a pure and lowly heart,
Give us a pure and lowly heart,
  A temple meet for Thee.
A temple meet for Thee.
