XXVI. The Beatitudes

[1 Bless'd are the humble Souls that see
Their Emptiness and Poverty;
Treasures of Grace to them are giv'n,
And Crowns of Joy laid up in Heav'n.]

[2 Bless'd are the Men of broken Heart,
Who mourn for Sin with inward Smart;
The blood of CHRIST divinely flows,
A Healing Balm for all their Woes.]

[3 Bless'd are the Meek, who stand afar
From Rage and Passion, Noise and War;
GOD will secure their happy State,
And plead their Cause against the Great.]

[4 Bless'd are the Souls that thirst for Grace,
Hunger and long for Righteousness;
They shall be well supply'd, and fed
With living Streams and living Bread.]

[5 Bless'd are the Men whose Bowels move
And melt with Sympathy and Love;
From CHRIST the LORD shall they obtain
Like Sympathy and Love again.]

[6 Bless'd are the Pure, whose Hearts arc clean
From the defiling Powe'r of Sin;
With endless Pleasure they shall see
A GOD of spotless Purity.]

[7 Bless'd are the men of peaceful Life,
Who quench the Coals of growing Strife;
They shall be call'd the Heirs of Bliss,
The Sons of GOD, the GOD of Peace.]

[8 Bless'd are the Suff'rers who partake
Of Pain and Shame for Jesus sake;
Their Souls shall triumph in the LORD
Glory and Joy are their Reward.]
