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 dwelling 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.
