THE Eight Beatitudes.

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 Peace-makers: 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.
