Blessed Are You

Lyrics

You poor in spirit, blessed are you.
Yours is the Kingdom of Heaven!
You who are mourning,
Yours is comfort and joy.
Blessed are you.

You who are meek, blessed are you.
You will inherit the earth!
You who crave righteousness,
You will have fullness of justice.
Blessed are you.

REFRAIN
O Blessed are you! Blessed are you!
O Blessed are you! Blessed are you!
Blessed are you!

You filled with mercy, blessed are you.
You shall receive God's mercy.
You who are pure of heart,
You will see God's face! Blessed are you.

You, the peacemakers, blessed are you.
You'll be called children of God.
You persecuted,
Yours is the Kingdom of God!
Blessed are you. REFRAIN

CODA
Those poor in spirit, those in mourning, blessed are you!
