The Pure in Heart

 

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:3

 

The pure in heart: washed clean, unstained,

From hidden vice unchained,

Who’ve come to love His name,

And seek to honor all His claims.

They care not for the praise of man,

But obey orders from His hand.

They look and long within His Word

 To see clearly, and know Him more.

 

They shall see God: what rich reward

By very promise of our Lord!

In heaven, yes, but also now,

His home with them He will endow*.

Then their home will His shadow be**,

As they behold their Lord’s glory.

Faith’s eyes will see Him as He is;

There is no greater gift than this!
