469 Blest are the pure in heart,
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 He to the lowly soul
Doth still 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.
