Author: John Keble Hymnal: The Hymnal #277 (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: St. John the Evangelist; Holy Days The Anunciation; Catechism; Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
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.
Amen.
