Blessed are the poor in spirit
Theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven
Blessed are the ones in mourning
For they shall be comforted
Blessed are the meek and gentle
The earth is their inheritance
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
For they shall be satisfied
O rejoice and be glad
For You are our reward
O rejoice and be glad
Lord we pray, ‘Your Kingdom come’
Blessed are those who show mercy
For they shall receive it in full
Blessed are the pure in spirit
For they shall see Your face
Blessed are the ones who work for peace
For they shall be called Your children
Blessed are the ones who suffer for You
For theirs is the kingdom
