Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see their God.
The secret of the Lord is theirs;
their soul is Christ's abode.
The Lord, who left the sky
our life and peace to bring,
to dwell in lowliness with us,
our pattern and our king,
He to the lowly soul
will still himself impart
and for his dwelling and his throne
will chose the pure in heart.
Lord, we your presence seek;
we ask this blessing true:
give us a pure and lowly heart,
a temple fit for you.
