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 cradle 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.
