Lyrics The Beatitudes - English Chamber Orchestra feat. Nigel Short

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 shall 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
