Blessed are they, the poor in spirit
Theirs is the Kingdom of God
Happy are they who fell a great hunger
They shall be filled
Blest be the ones who all cry
For they shall soon smile and laugh
Chorus:
You are not forgotten, oh no
So be glad and rejoice
Blessed are they who show mercy
They shall find mercy themselves
Happy are they who seek and share peace
They are God's children
Holy are those pure in heart
For they shall see God
Chorus
(Recorder solo with background harmony)
Blessed are those
Tortured for holiness' sake
The kingdom of God belongs to them~~
Blessed are you when you're slandered,
And people will hate you, all cause of me
Chorus
(song repeats, ending with:)
Be glad and rejoice, (be glad and rejoice, be glad and rejoice)
Be glad and rejoice, (be glad and rejoice, be glad and rejoice)
Be glad and rejoice, (be glad and rejoice, be glad and rejoice)
Be glad and rejoice, (be glad and rejoice, be glad and rejoice)
Be glad and rejoice, (be glad and rejoice, be glad and rejoice)
Be glad and rejoice, (be glad and rejoice, be glad and rejoice)
