This should do it!…………enjoy! Heavymetalrick
Lead me lord, lead me lord!
By the light of truth
To seek and to find the narrow way…
Be my way, be my truth, be my light O lord!
And lead me Lord today…
Blessed are the poor in spirit longing for their lord,
For god’s coming kingdom shall be theirs
Blessed are the sorrowing for they shall be consoled
And god’s coming kingdom shall be theirs.
Blessed are the merciful for the mercy shall be theirs
And the pure in heart shall see their God
Blest are they whose hunger only holiness can fill
For I say they shall be satisfied
Blest are they who through their lifetimes sow the seeds of peace
All will call them children of the Lord
Blest are you, though persecuted in your holy life
For in Heaven great is your reward.

Blest are they – David Haas
Translated into ASL by David Bar-Tzur
Lyrics:
1. Blest are they, the poor in spirit; theirs is the kingdom of God. Blest are they, full of sorrow; they shall be consoled.
Refrain: Rejoice, and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!
2. Blest are they, the lowly ones: they shall inherit the earth. Blest are they, who hunger and thirst; they shall have their fill.
3. Blest are they, who show mercy; mercy shall be theirs. Blest are they, the pure of heart; they shall see God!
4. Blest are they, who seek peace; they are the children of God. Blest are they who suffer in faith; the glory of God is theirs.
5. Blest are you, who suffer hate, all because of me. Rejoice and be glad, yours is the kingdom of God; shine for all to see.
