10.10.10.10
Jesus was poor in spirit and made low
In him heaven’s kingdom we have come to know
Jesus has mourned for all our sin and shame
We feel his comfort for we bear his name
Jesus is meek and lowly in his heart
To him is giv’n the kingdoms of the earth
Hungry and thirsty for God’s righteous way
He shall now fill us with his light each day
Jesus is merciful and loves the lost
He earned us mercy, paid at dreadful cost
Jesus is pure in heart, and him alone,
In whom our Father’s heart to sinners shown
Jesus our peacemaker, God’s only son
In him our peace has finally been won
Jesus was slandered, hated by cruel men
His is the kingdom, his the crown, amen.
