The Beatitudes (1990)
- Blessed are the poor in spirit : for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- Blessed are they that mourn : for they shall be comforted.
- Blessed are the meek : for they shall inherit the earth.
- Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness : for they shall be filled.
- Blessed are the merciful : for they shall obtain mercy.
- Blessed are the pure in heart : for they shall see God.
- Blessed are the peacemakers : for they shall be called the children of God.
- Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake : for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
- Rejoice, and be exceeding glad : for great is your reward in heaven : for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Amen
Matthew 5:3-12
