The Beatitudes H.R. Evans text from Matthew 5
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of God. 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 that are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heav’n.
Blessed are ye when men shall revile you,
Blessed are ye when men shall persecute you,
And shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.
Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is thy reward in Heaven!
Rejoice, be exceeding glad and glorify the Father in Heav’n.
God is my strong salvation; what foe have I to fear?
In peril and temptation my light, my help, is near.
Though hosts encamp around me, firm to the fight I stand;
what terror can confound me, with God at my right hand?
Place on the Lord reliance; my soul, with courage wait;
God’s truth be thine affiance, when faint and desolate.
God’s might thy heart shall strengthen; God’s love thy joy increase;
mercy thy days shall lengthen; the Lord will give thee peace.
Anthem Psalm 78
The Lord gave them bread from heaven,
Bread in the wilderness.
He commanded the skies and opened the doors of heav’n;
He rained manna upon them for food, and gave them heav’nly bread.
Manna bread of angels, food He sent in abundance.
And they were brought to his holy land, the mountain his hand had won.
Anthem In This Place Carl Meyer / Summer Choir
There is a welcome for the weary;
There is a rest, for it is here we
Find the power of our family’s healing love;
For as Christ has welcomed all by grace,
There is a welcome in this place.
There is a healing for the hurting;
There is a balm, for it is certain
That our God who feels our pain is here to heal;
For as God has healed us all by grace,
There is a healing in this place.
There is a comfort for our sorrow;
There is a hope for each tomorrow.
God’s compassion reaches to our needs;
For as Christ brings comfort through God’s grace,
There is a welcome, healing, peace, in this place.
