“Blessed are the poor in spirit.” Matt. 5. 3-6

1 Blest are the humble souls that see
  Their emptiness and poverty;
  Treasures of grace to them are given,
  And crowns of joy laid up in heaven.

2 Blest are the men of broken heart,
  Who mourn for sin with inward smart;
  The blood of Christ divinely flows,
  A healing balm for all their woes.

3 Blest are the souls that thirst for grace,
  Hunger and long for righteousness;
  They shall be well supplied, and fed
  With living streams and living bread.
