Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: Together in Song #448 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Together in Song Lyrics: 1 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.
2 The Lord who left the heavens
our life and peace to bring,
to dwell with us in lowliness,
our pattern and our King:
3 still to the lowly soul
he will himself impart,
and for his cradle and his throne
chooses the pure in heart.
4 Lord, we your presence seek;
this blessing now renew:
give us a pure and lowly heart,
a temple fit for you.
