Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: Common Praise #391 (2000) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Common Praise 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 in lowliness with men,
their pattern and their King;
3 Still to the lowly soul
he doth himself impart,
and for his dwelling and his throne
chooseth the pure in heart.
4 Lord, we thy presence seek;
may ours this blessing be;
give us a pure and lowly heart,
a temple meet for thee. Topics: Fifth Sunday Before Lent Year A; Fourth Sunday Before Lent Year C; Proper 21 Year C Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:16 Languages: English Tune Title: FRANCONIA
