He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart: who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.—Ps. xxiv, 4, 5.

Since Thou Thyself dost still display

Unto the pure in heart,

Oh, make us children of the day

To know Thee as Thou art.

For Thou art light and life and love;

And Thy redeemed below

May see Thee as Thy saints above,

And know Thee as they know.

J. MONTGOMERY.

The pure in heart see God in everything, and see Him everywhere; and they are supremely blessed.

J. G. HOLLAND.

Certainly as the open eye drinks in the light, do the pure in heart see God. And he that lives truly, feels Him as a presence not to be put by.
