Lyrics
The Meek
Lyrics by: Rosemary Cobham
Music by: Philip E. Newman
Blessed are the meek.
They surely move In quiet service and Observant love;
Unhurried, watch the Father’s plan unfold.
Tender in comfort, in the battle bold.
Quick in obedience,
And to anger slow,
With vision and with confidence they go,
With vision and with confidence they go.
Blessed are the meek.
They do not need The flattery of men whereon to feed.
Their hopes are Godward.
Being His reflection Is their reward and hope and sure protection.
Pride can be hurt, but those who have no pride In safety and sweet dignity abide,
In safety and sweet dignity abide.
Blessed are the meek.
No inner strife Weakens or debilitates their life.
The undivided currents of their days Flows out in faithful friendship, prayer, and praise. In love for God and man their good they seek.
Blessed oh, how blessed! are the meek.
Blessed oh, how blessed! are the meek.
