Rev. F. Forrester Church
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for they know the unutterable beauty of simple things.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they have dared to risk their hearts by giving of their love.
Blessed are the meek, gentle earth shall embrace them and hallow them as its own.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall know the taste of noble thoughts and deeds.
Blessed are the merciful, for in return theirs is the gift of giving.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall be at one with themselves and the universe.
Blessed are the peacemakers for theirs is a kinship with everything that is holy.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for the truth will set them free.
