LYRICS

BeatitudesText adapted from Matthew 5: 3-9
by Peter Amidon

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for heaven is theirs.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed they who hunger after justice, for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall have mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
