Beatitudes - Tune is Red River Valley (1890s Public Domain) [Verse 1]
      A           E           A
On a mountaintop high, Jesus taught them

     A                        E
with disciples and crowds all around

          A               A              D
There he taught them how they could be bless-ed

         A           E         A
And his marvelous words did astound
[Chorus]
         A          E           A
Come and sit by my side if you love me

A                              E
You are bless-ed be glad and rejoice!

      A              A            D
Just remember these truths that I teach you

         A             E          A
And the love that you hear in my voice.
[Verse 2]
      A                E           A
Oh so bless'd are the ones poor in spirit,

A                              E
For the kingdom of heaven is theirs

        A              A             D
And so bless'd are the ones who are mourning

        A                   E            A
They'll get comfort, their pain God will bear.
[Verse 3]
        A               E             A
 Oh so bless'd are the meek they'll inherit

A                                E
All the earth with its riches so rare

          A               A          D
Those for righteousness, hungry and thirsty

          A            E           A
are so bless'd for fulfillment is theirs.
[Verse 4]
         A       E              A
Oh the merciful ones will get mercy

         A                        E
And the pure-hearted ones will see God

         A            A          D
And the peacemakers all are so bless-ed

           A             E           A
They will be called the children of God.
[Verse 5]
             A              E             A
Bless'd are those punished for righteous living

A                          E
To them does my kingdom belong

             A            A          D
Bless'd are you when you suffer for my sake

      A           E         A
So rejoice and remember my song.
[Chorus]
         A          E           A
Come and sit by my side if you love me

A                              E
You are bless-ed be glad and rejoice!

      A              A            D
Just remember these truths that I teach you

         A             E          A
And the love that you hear in my voice.
