The Beatitudes
Text: Matthew 5:1-8
Music: Allanson G.Y. Brown

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain:
and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
and he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn,
blessed are they that mourn,
for they shall be comforted, comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness,
for they shall be filled,
for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall,
they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.
