Hymn 064 – BLESSED are the pure in heart | C&S English Hymnary

1. BLESSED are the pure in heart They have learned the angels art While on earth in heaven to be God, by sense unseen, to see Cleansed from sin's offensive stain Fellowship with Him they gain Nearness, likeness to their Lord Their exceeding great reward. 2. Worshipping in spirit now In His inner court they bow Bow before the brightening veil God’s own radiance through it hail Serious, simple of intent Teachably intelligent Rapt, they search the written Word Till His very voice is heard. 3. In creation Him they own Meet Him in its haunts, alone Most amidst its Sabbath calm Morning light and evening balm Him they still through busier life Trust in pain, and care and strife These, like clouds o’er noontide blaze Temper, not conceal, His rays. 4. Hallowed thus their every breath Dying, they shall not See death With the Lord in paradise Till, like His, their bodies rise Nearer than the Seraphim In their flesh shall saints see Him With the Father, in the Son Through the Spirit ever one AMEN
