Isaac Watts - Hymn 102
Work rating: Low

The Beatitudes.

Mt. 5:3-12. 

[Blest are the humble souls that see
Their emptiness and poverty;
Treasures of grace to them are giv`n,
And crowns of joy laid up in heav`n.]

[Blest are the men of broken heart,
Who mourn for sin with inward smart
The blood of Christ divinely flows,
A healing balm for all their woes.]

[Blest are the meek, who stand afar
From rage and passion, noise and war;
God will secure their happy state,
And plead their cause against the great.]

[Blest are the souls that thirst for grace,
Hunger and long for righteousness;
They shall be well supplied, and fed
With living streams and living bread.]

[Blest are the men whose bowels move
And melt with sympathy and love;
From Christ the Lord shall they obtain
Like sympathy and love again.]

[Blest are the pure, whose hearts arc clean
From the defiling powers of sin;
With endless pleasure they shall see
A God of spotless purity.]

[Blest are the men of peaceful life,
Who quench the coals of growing strife;
They shall be called the heirs of bliss,
The sons of God, the God of peace.]

[Blest are the suff`rers who partake
Of pain and shame for Jesus` sake;
Their souls shall triumph in the Lord
Glory and joy are their reward.]
