“Blest are the meek,” he said,
Whose doctrine is divine;
The humble-minded earth possess,
And bring in heaven will shine.
While here on earth they stay,
Calm peace with them shall dwell;
And cheerful hope and heavenly joy
Beyond what tongue can tell.
The God of peace is theirs;
They own his gracious sway;
And yielding all their wills to him,
His sovereign laws obey.
No angry passions move,
No envy fires the breast;
The prospect of eternal peace
Bids every trouble rest.
O gracious Father, grant
That we this influence feel,
That all we hope, or wish, may be
Subjected to thy will.
