Beatitudes Lyrics

When reviled, Christ repaid with compassion

For the Crown took the cross, took our shame

Brought low in the grave, all to rise just the same

It is Christ who deserves all the praise

Let us learn that to be low is to be high

And that love at its heart is sacrifice

Blessed are the poor in spirit

Comfort to those who mourn

Blessed are the meek and low

For they shall see the Lord

Blessed are the merciful

Peaceful whose hearts are pure

Blessed are the persecuted

Trust in Christ by faith alone

Once reviled, now received with compassion

To a kingdom of sinners turned saints

Compelled by His grace, now in turn we display

With our words, with our works, all His ways

Let us learn that to be low is to be high

And that love at its heart is sacrifice

Blessed are the poor in spirit

Comfort to those who mourn

Blessed are the meek and low

For they shall see the Lord

Blessed are the merciful

Peaceful whose hearts are pure

Blessed are the persecuted

Trust in Christ by faith alone

So let us learn that the valley gives us vision

As our minds are set above and Christ is lifted

Let us learn that to be low is to be high

And that love at its heart is sacrifice

Blessed are the poor in spirit

Comfort to those who mourn

Blessed are the meek and low

For they shall see the Lord

Blessed are the merciful

Peaceful whose hearts are pure

Blessed are the persecuted

Blessed are the persecuted

Blessed are the persecuted

Trust in Christ by faith alone
