Blest Are They
==============
w&m: David Haas, 1985

[Verse 1]
Blest are they, the poor in spirit,
theirs is the kingdom of God.
Blest are they, full of sorrow,
they shall be consoled.

[Refrain]
Rejoice and be glad!
Blessed are you, holy are you!
Rejoice and be glad!
Yours is the kingdom of God!

[Verse 2]
Blest are they, the lowly ones,
they shall inherit the earth.
Blest are they who hunger and thirst,
they shall have their fill.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
Blest are they who show mercy,
mercy shall be theirs.
Blest are they, the pure of heart,
they shall see God!

[Refrain]

[Verse 4]
Blest are they who seek peace;
they are the children of God.
Blest are they who suffer in faith,
the glory of God is theirs.

[Refrain]

[Verse 5]
Blest are you who suffer hate,
all because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, yours is the kingdom,
shine for all to see.

[Refrain]
