[1 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.]

[2 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.]

[3 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.]

[4 Blest are the Souls that thirst for Grace,
Hunger and long for Righteousness;
They shall be well supply'd and fed
With living Streams and living Bread.]

[5 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.]

[6 Blest are the Pure, whose Hearts arc clean
From the defiling Pow'rs of Sin;
With endless Pleasure they shall see
A God of spotless Purity.]

[7 Blest are the Men of peaceful Life,
Who quench the Coals of growing Strife;
They shall be call'd the Heirs of Bliss,
The Sons of God, the God of Peace.]

[8 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.]
