Myriam: Song of the Beatitudes


Myriam from the Haifa community has sent us a new song she composed. The words are those of the Beatitudes from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.

The Beatitudes: View and listen

The words of the song are taken from chapter 5 of the Gospel according to Saint Matthew.

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him.  Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: 
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

You are the salt of the earth
You are the light of the world

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 
Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. 
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

You are the salt of the earth
You are the light of the world

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 
Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.

You are the salt of the earth
You are the light of the world

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
