Blest Are They

Blest are they, the poor in spirit

Theirs is the kingdom of God

Blest are they, full of sorrow

They shall be consoled

Rejoice, and be glad!

Blessed are you, holy are you!

Rejoice and be glad!

Yours is the kingdom of God!

Blest are they, the lowly ones

They shall inherit the earth

Blest are they, who hunger and thirst

They shall have their fill

Rejoice, and be glad!

Blessed are you, holy are you!

Rejoice and be glad!

Yours is the kingdom of God!

Blest are they, who show mercy

Mercy shall be theirs

Blest are they, the pure of heart

They shall see God!

Rejoice, and be glad!

Blessed are you, holy are you!

Rejoice and be glad!

Yours is the kingdom of God!

Blest are they, who seek peace

They are the children of God

Blest are they who suffer in faith

The glory of God is theirs

Rejoice, and be glad!

Blessed are you, holy are you!

Rejoice and be glad!

Yours is the kingdom of God!

Blest are you, who suffer hate

All because of me

Rejoice and be glad, yours is the kingdom

Shine for all to see

Rejoice, and be glad!

Blessed are you, holy are you!

Rejoice and be glad!

Yours is the kingdom of God!

Rejoice, and be glad!

Blessed are you, holy are you!

Rejoice and be glad!

Yours is the kingdom of God!
