Blessed are the poor in spirit longing for their lord,
For god's coming kingdom shall be theirs
Blessed are the sorrowing for they shall be consoled
And god's coming kingdom shall be theirs.
Blessed are the merciful for the mercy shall be theirs
And the pure in heart shall see their God
Blest are they whose hunger only holiness can fill
For I say they shall be satisfied

Blest are they who through their lifetimes sow the seeds of peace
All will call them children of the Lord
Blest are you, though persecuted in your holy life
For in Heaven great is your reward.
