Tune: Ye Banks And Braes
(\'We cannot measure how you heal\')
Luke Chapter 6 part
********
\'Blessed be you poor\', the Lord did say
You who stay with me, watch and pray
For yours the kingdom of God is
You can be assured well of this
And blessed be you that hunger now
For you shall be filled, and too how
Blessed are those who do now weep
For you shall laugh and dance and leap
Blessed are you too when people shall
Hate you, and of you not speak well
And when you they shall separate
From their company, not be late
But shall reproach you, cast you out
Treat your name as evil, no doubt
\'Tis all because of the Son\'s sake
They do not Him their Lord true make
Rejoice in those days, leap for joy
Though those you agitate, annoy
Are of the world, have not believed
Have not Christ as Saviour received
Yet those troubled, persecuted
have great reward in heaven, not hid
For in like manner they did do
Unto previous prophets true
Who build their lives upon a rock
Dig deep, and withstand the storm\'s shock
For such are they with godly fear
Who do Christ\'s words, not only hear
So not lip-service or talk fine
Nor sole mental assent align
But such obey, the Spirit\'s power
Is given unto them each hour
