Classic Poem

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 shal say all manner of evill against you falsly for my sake.

Rejoyce, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in
heaven: For so persecuted they the Prophets which were before
you.

Yee are the salt of the earth: But if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it bee salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be cast out, and to be troden under foote of men.

Yee are the light of the world. A citie that is set on an hill,
cannot be hid.

Neither doe men light a candle, and put it under a bushell: but
on a candlesticke, and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
workes, and glorifie your father which is in heaven.
