The New Christian Hymnal ‎#215

215. Blest Are the Humble Souls that See

1. Blest 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. Blest 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. Blest are the souls who thirst for grace,
Hunger and thirst for righteousness;
They should be well supplied and fed
With living streams and living bread.

4. Blest are the men of peaceful life,
Who quench the glowing coals of strife;
They shall be called the heirs of bliss,
The sons of God, the God of peace.
