CHRIST'S SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
Matthew, Chap. v. Blessed are they in spirit poor, Who tranquilly life's ills endure; Who fix their thoughts on things above, And trust in God's eternal love— Blessed are they! Those who in contrite spirit mourn— Not for misfortunes earthly born, But for their sins against high Heaven, And truly pray to be forgiven— Blessed are they! Those who are in their manners meek, Nor worldly joys and honours seek ;
Who have no heart in wars and strife, But live in peace and perfect life— Blessed are they! Those who for righteousness do'thirst, And make this great desire their first; Not satisfied with earthly joys, Whose transient draught the soul destroys Blessed are they! Those who are merciful, and show They feel acute for others' woe ; Who cheerfully with ready hand Supply their wants, by God's command— Blessed are they! Those pure in heart, whose only aim Is to adore the Saviour's name : "* Who have no selfish end in view, But are in love and worship true— Blessed are they! Those who make peace where'ere they go, Nor once the seeds of discord sow; Uniting friends and foes again, Whose disaffection gave but pain— Blessed are they! Those who revile not, who believe In God, and never do deceive By learning, witness false, or try To make the Word of Truth a lie— Blessed are they! Those who enjoy all things, like these : Whom persecution can't displease : Who, as the Prophet did of old, Esteem God's Word more worth than goldBlessed are they!
