Blessed are they that have eyes to see.
They shall find God everywhere.
They shall see Him where others see stones.

Blessed are they that have understanding hearts.
To them shall be multipled Kingdoms of Delight.

Blessed are they that see visions.
They shall rejoice in the hidden ways of God.

Blessed are the song-ful of soul.
They carry light and joy to shadowed lives.

Blessed are they who rejoice in the power of prayer.
They draw very near to God.

Blessed are they who know the power of Love.
They dwell in God, for God is Love.

Blessed are the faithful strong.
They are the right hands of God.

Blessed are they that dwell in peace, --
If they forget not God.

Blessed are they who, through tribulation, have come to perfect trust in God.
Theirs is the peace which passeth understanding.

Blessed are the burdened of heart to whom The Comforter has come.
They foretaste the joy of heaven.
