Lyrics 1. The pure in heart, the pure in tho't, Shall learn the law the Master taught, Shall turn from ill and earthly strife, And seek the summits high in life. The pure in hear, the pure in deed, Shall sow each hour some fruitful seed, Which, falling here and falling there, Shall plant for harvest rich and rare. 2. The pure in hear, the pure in word, Make music, sweetest ever heard, And wake the tones of gracious good, The tones of peace and brotherhood! The pure in heart, the pure in pray'r, Shall feel God's presence ev'rywhere; Shall see his work on ev'ry side, And know that life is glorified.
