Lyrics:
1.
Come, draw near of ev'ry nation,
Heed the Saviour's loving voice;
Hear the words of consolation,
Make the way of truth your choice!
From His lips is ever heard
:: His inspiring, living word. ::

2.
Blessed are the poor in spirit
Who, with meek and lowly heart,
Plead now for the Saviour’s mercy
For His grace He will impart.
He will hear their pleading voice,
:: In His kingdom they’ll rejoice. ::

3.
Blest are they who truly sorrow
For the debt of sin they owe;
They shall not become discouraged,
Grace and help He will bestow.
He’ll efface sin’s debt and grief,
:: And give solace and relief. ::

4.
Blessed are the meek and lowly,
Gentle as a lamb and pure,
Pride and wrath forever scorning,
Who in humbleness endure;
On the new earth, glad and free
:: Their inheritance shall be. ::

5.
Blest are they who thirst and hunger
After truth and righteousness;
For, such real, essential virtues
God will give them to possess.
All whose soul doth long for grace
:: Shall these precious gifts embrace. ::

6.
Blest are they, who, showing mercy
Without favor, without fear,
All mankind in love embracing,
To the needy ones draw near.
They who merciful remain
:: Mercy also shall obtain. ::

7.
Blessed are the pure and spotless,
Who in chastity abide;
In whose heart the Saviour's likeness
Shall be truly glorified.
They shall in yon heav'nly light
:: See God's countenance so bright. ::

8.
Blessed are the peaceful children
Who in peace live day by day,
And, unlike the godless sinner,
Evil works with good repay.
He who peace and love has taught
:: Shall be called a child of God. ::

9.
Blessed are those who must suffer
For the sake of righteousness;
Through such trials God prepares them
For that home of joy and bliss.
Those who die in Christ the Lord
:: Find in heaven their reward. ::

10.
Blest are you, when people chide you,
Hate you, slander scoffingly;
Lie about you, and deride you:
“Yours the kingdom yet shall be.”
You shall, in your gracious Lord,
:: Share the prophets' rich reward. ::

11.
Blest are all who here reproaches,
Without blame, and scorn must bear,
Patient till the end approaches,
God will then reward them there:
Crowns of righteousness will there
:: All the patient sufferers wear. ::

12.
But woe to the rich whose fulness
Is their God and their reward;
Hence they shall go empty-handed;
Tears and hunger is their part.
Woe to those who laugh and scorn;
:: They shall surely weep and mourn. ::
