Blest Are They

Shine On Us

Blessed are the poor in spirit God has faithfully revealed That the riches of the kingdom With their souls in Christ are sealed Blessed are the grieved the weeping Those who tears for others cry Selfless giving bearing sorrow Will be dancing by and by Those who hunger and are thirsty Craving righteousness and life Won't be filled by any other Satisfied by none but Christ

Lord let Your light Light of Your face shine on us Lord let Your light Light of Your face shine on us That we may be saved That we may have life To find our way in the darkest night Let Your light shine on us

Blessed Are

Blessed are the meek and gentle No demands no claims to rights In their patience strong and mighty Confidence and faith in Christ And to those of tender mercy From them falls as gentle rain Grace and kindness sweet compassion Mercy given and mercy gained Blessed are the true peacemakers With contentment for the fold They cling to promises of heaven Working in the field of souls
