The Beatitudes

Blessed are the poor in spirit
They shall see heaven's kingdom
Blessed are the ones who mourn for
They shall be comforted

Blessed are the gentle ones
And all the peacemakers
They are God's children
And earth's inheritors

You are a city on a hill, my children
You are a shining light that can't be hidden!
You are the light of the whole world, my children
You are a shining light that can't be hidden!

Blessed are the ones who hunger
And all the ones who thirst
For holy righteousness, for
They shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the pure in heart
For they shall see the Lord
And all the ones who suffer here
Shall earn a great reward
