Lyrics

Blessed are the poor in spirit
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are those who mourn
They will be comforted
Blessed are the meek
For they will inherit the earth
Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness
For they will be filled

Blessed are the merciful
For they will be shown mercy
Blessed are the pure in heart
They will see God
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they will be called the sons of God
Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness
Theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you
And falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me

Rejoice and be glad,
For great is your reward in heaven...

For in the same way,
They persecuted the Prophets who were before you.
