 1. Blessed are the poor in spirit, 
        for theirs is the Kingdom of heav'n;
    Blessed are the merciful, 
       For they shall be forgiv'n.

  CHORUS
    Rejoice and be exceeding glad
    for great is your reward;
    Rejoice, always be thankful 
    for your blessings from the Lord.

 2. Blessed are the meek in spirit,
       for they shall inherit the earth;
    Blessed are the thirsty ones,
       For God shall quench their thirst.

  CHORUS

 3. Blessed are the ones oppressed 
       for theirs is the Kingdom of hean'n;
    Blessed are the ones who mourn,
       for God shall comfort them.

  CHORUS

 4. Blessed are the peaceful ones,
       for they shall be children of God;
    Blessed are the pure of heart,
       for they shall see their God.

  CHORUS
