Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit
Author: Norman Elliott Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed are the poor in spirit,
claiming nothing as their own,
but as giv'n them by their Father
that his goodness may be shown.
Blessed are they who share the sorrow
of their God's unchanging love;
they shall know his presence with them
and his promised comfort prove.
2 Blessed are the strong but gentle,
trained to serve a higher will,
wise to know th'eternal purpose
which their Father shall fulfill.
Blessed are they who with true passion
strive to make the right prevail,
for the earth is God's possession
and his purpose will not fail.
3 Blessed are they who show their mercy
to the guilty and the poor,
for to them, set free from judgment,
shall be opened heaven's door.
Blessed, the sincere and truthful
from the lie's deception free,
for the God of truth and beauty
they in joy will surely see.
4 Blessed are the brave and peaceful,
bringing peace where'er they live,
God shall own them as his children
and through them his peace will give.
All for love and truth who suffer,
in your God rejoice and sing;
he, the end of all your striving,
he, your Father, Lord and King.

Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!
Author: John Bakewell; Martin Madan; Augustus M.Toplady Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 625 hymnals Lyrics:
Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!
Hail, thou Galilean King!
Thou didst suffer to release us;
Thou didst free salvation bring.
Hail, Thou agonizing Savior,
Bearer of our sin and shame!
By Thy merit we find favor:
Life is given through Thy Name.
Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
All our sins on Thee were laid:
By almighty love anointed,
Thou hast full atonement made.
All Thy people are forgiven
Through the virtue of Thy blood:
Opened is the gate of heaven,
Peace is made 'twixt man and God.
Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
There for ever to abide;
All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
Seated at thy Father's side.
There for sinners Thou art pleading:
There Thou dost our place prepare;
Ever for us interceding,
Till in glory we appear.
Worship, honor, power, and blessing
Thou art worthy to receive:
Loudest praises, without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give.
Help, ye bright angelic spirits!
Bring your sweetest, noblest lays!
Help to sing our Savior's merits!
Help to chant Emmanuel's praise!
Amen.
