The Pure In Heart Shall See God

Verse 1

Saviour, on me the grace bestow, That with thy children I may know My sins on earth forgiven; Give me to prove the kingdom mine, And taste, in holiness divine, The happiness of heaven!

Verse 2

Me with that restless thirst inspire, That sacred, infinite desire, And feast my hungry heart: Less than thyself can not suffice; My soul for all thy fullness cries, For all thou hast and art.

Verse 3

Mercy who show shall mercy find: Thy pitiful and tender mind Be, Lord, on me bestowed; So shall I still the blessing gain, And to eternal life retain The mercy of my God.

Verse 4

Jesus, the crowning grace impart: Bless me with purity of heart; That now beholding thee, I soon may view thy open face, On all thy glorious beauties gaze, And God forever see.
