Lyrics
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven,
Blessed are they that mourn,
For they shall be comforted,
Blessed are the meek and lowly,
For they shall inherit the earth,
Blessed are they who are { hungry and thirsty, }
{seekers after right-}
{They shall be filled,}
{eousness, }
Blessed are the merciful,
For they shall obtain mercy,
Blessed are the pure in heart,
They shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called the children of God,
Blessed are they who are persecuted
{For righteousness’ sake,}
{which are beat - }
{Theirs is the kingdom of heaven,
{en down,________}
Blessed are ye, (repeated above the following:)
When men shall revile you and persecute you,
And shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake,
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad,
For great is your reward in heaven,
For so persecuted they the prophets,
Which were before you.
