quote · Legacy record
Blest are the humble souls that see Their emptiness and poverty, Treasures of grace to them are given, And crowns of joy laid up in heaven. Blest are the men of broken heart, Who mourn for sin with inward smart, The blood of Christ divinely flows, A healing balm for all their woes. Blest are the souls who thirst for grace, Hunger and long for righteousness; They shall be well supplied, and fed With living streams and living bread. Blest are the sufferers, who partake Of pain and shame for Jesus’ sake, Their souls shall triumph in the Lord, Glory and joy are their reward.
