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. | Still to the lowly soul He doth himself impart And for His dwelling and His throne Chooseth the pure in heart. |
The Lord, who left the heavens Our life and peace to bring, To dwell in lowliness with men, Their Pattern and their King; | Lord, we thy presence seek; May ours this blessing be; Give us a pure and lowly heart, A temple meet for Thee. |
"O’er all those wide extended plains / Shines one eternal day;
"There God the Son forever reigns / And scatters night away."
