5-end

Bless-ed be, those devoted to mercy,
giving like the Vine spilling wine for His glory,
Tested thoroughly, recognized never,
Storing treasure for His pleasure, drinking the full measure.
Overlooking injustice by looking to the Son, themselves blinded by the victory that His life has won.

Bless-ed be, the brethren with hearts clean,
Glistening pristine in light of their of own King,
Holding to the truth from which His character's fruit teems
From the Holy Spirit's stream,
With the promise to see God, yes, even He who is unseen

Bless-ed be those seeking to make peace,
Calling out to the world, that the rebellion might cease,
Life is just lease,
For all chosen to unite in Him, Set before time begun,
He'll be the God of His children again through the Death of His son.

Blessed be those rejected standing firm for His Name,
Persecuted and despised, slandered and shamed,
But His standard still reigns,
And His love is their gain,
Knowing that everything they undergo, He underwent more-of-the-same.

Blessed are you, when you are rejected too,
If you're steadfast in the way and word of the Truth.
For though on account of Him, you are held in contempt,
Rejoice and be glad for from Death you're exempt,
In the same way the lives of the prophets were spent.
