1. Blest are the pure in heart,
For they shall see our God,
The secret of the Lord is theirs,
Their heart is Christ's abode.
2 The Son whom God hath given
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 God's dwelling place alone
Blesseth the pure in heart.
4 Lord, we thy presence seek;
May ours this blessing be;
Be ours a pure and lowly heart,
A temple meet for thee.
