We sing in hope we sing in praise

To you O Lord

Our voice we raise

In prayer we sing!

V1

Blessed be the poor in spirit

The Kingdom of Heaven is theirs

Blessed be to those in mourning

For they shall be comforted

Refrain:

V2

Blessed be the meek and gentle

For they shall inherit the earth

Blessed be to those who hunger

For they shall be satisfied

Refrain:

V3

Blessed all those who show mercy

For mercy they shall receive

Blessed be those with a pure heart

For they all shall see their God

Is a better home awaiting

In the sky Oh in the sky

Verses:

There are loved ones in the glory

Whose dear forms you often miss

When you close your earthly story

Will you join them in their bliss?

In the joyous days of childhood

Oh they told us of His Love

Pointed to the dying Saviour

Now they dwell with Him above

you can picture happy gath’rings

round the fireside long ago

and you think of tearful partings

when they left you here below

one by one their seats were emptied

one by one they went away

now the family is parted

will it be complete one day?
