1. How happy are the merciful!
In God's eyes they are beautiful
They tell to all who love the right
That God in mercy takes delight
Through Jesus, mercy God displayed
Provision for our ransom made
He offers mercy to the meek
Because he knows our frame is weak

2. Those merciful like God are blessed
Through sins forgiven they have rest
They benefit by mercy shown
Since Christ appeared before God's throne
This mercy they would gladly share
By preaching God's Word ev'rywhere
By telling men, "Be of good cheer
Because the Kingdom now is here."

3. The meek will see Jehovah's love
When they are judged by him above
His mercy they will really know
Since they, like him, true mercy show
So merciful let's strive to be
And cultivate that quality
Our God and Christ have shown the way;
May we show mercy ev'ry day
