Text:
When in sin or poverty, will others see past stains?
When with disability, will someone share the pain?
When bereavement wounds a heart, will mourning be alone?
When imprisonment prevails, will caring love be shown?
Blessed are the merciful where judgment never wins.
Blessed are the merciful where kindness never dims.
Will we give the gifts of grace to evry passing soul?
Will we honor each new face, and help each to be known?
Will we mourn with those who weep for special kindred friends?
Will we offer sweet reply until the very end?
Blessed are the merciful; compassion will be known.
Blessed are the merciful; each gift will be their own.
He who lived a homeless life gives mansions to revere.
He who taught indifferent ears restores the deaf to hear.
He who died in suff ring pain unlocks each hidden grave.
He who walked a lonely road became the One who saves.
Blessed are the merciful, for each shall yet obtain
Blessed mercy given through our Saviors sacred name.
