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. | The Lord, who left the heavens Our life and peace to bring, To dwell in lowliness with men Their pattern and their King; | He to the lowly soul Doth still himself impart; And for his dwelling and his throne Chooseth the pure in heart. | Lord, we thy presence seek; May ours this blessing be; Give us a pure and lowly heart, A temple meet for thee. | |
