1. How happy are the merciful!
In God's eyes they are beautiful.
They tell to all who love the right
That God in mercy takes delight.
Through Jesus, mercy God displayed,
Provision for our ransom made.
He offers mercy to the meek
Because he knows our frame is weak.
2. Those merciful like God are blessed
Through sins forgiven they have rest.
They benefit by mercy shown,
Since Christ appeared before God's throne.
This mercy they would gladly share
By preaching God's Word ev'rywhere,
By telling men, "Be of good cheer
Because the Kingdom now is here."
3. The meek will see Jehovah's love
When they are judged by him above.
His mercy they will really know,
Since they, like him, true mercy show.
So merciful let's strive to be
And cultivate that quality.
Our God and Christ have shown the way;
May we show mercy ev'ry day.
