O how blessed are the poor in spirit, Theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. And how blessed are the sad and mournful, They'll be consoled by God. Refrain: Blessed and happy we shall be. Listen to the Master's word! O how blessed are the meek and humble, They will inherit the earth. And how blessed those who hunger for goodness, They all will feast with God. Refrain O how blessed are the mercy givers, Such mercy they will receive. And how blessed are the pure in heart, They surely will see God. Refrain O how blessed are true peace-makers, They will be known as God's children. And how blessed those who suffer for justice, They will be honored by God. Refrain
