Watchtower Bible and Tract Society – Happy Are The Merciful (Guitar)

     Eb         Fm/Ab
Our happy God is merciful,

    Fm    Bb       Eb
His mercy not just dutiful.

                    Fm/Ab
He takes delight in kindly deeds

     Fm     Bb        Eb
And freely grants our daily needs.

  Eb              Fm/Ab    Bb
Repentant ones can be assured

      Fm       Bb     Eb
Their plea for mercy will be heard.

   Eb           Ab
Remembering that we are dust,

     Eb/B          Eb
He’s merciful and kind and just.

     Eb                Fm/Ab
When we have sinned and feel distressed,

      Fm       Bb      Eb
When God’s forgiveness we request,

                        Fm/Ab
Our Lord, Christ Jesus, showed the way

   Fm      Bb     Eb
To ask for mercy when we pray:

     Eb      Fm/Ab     Bb
“Forgive our debts, we beg of you,

   Fm     Bb       Eb
As we forgive our debtors too.”

    Eb             Ab
We then can let resentment go,

     Eb/B               Eb
And peace of mind and heart we’ll know.

      Eb          Fm/Ab
When gifts of mercy we bestow,

     Fm     Bb    Eb
The giving spirit we should show.

                  Fm/Ab
We give without desiring praise,

    Fm       Bb       Eb
Content with joy our gift conveys.

     Eb                Fm/Ab      Bb
Then God, who sees all things we do,

     Fm      Bb    Eb
Will be the One repaying you.

     Eb             Ab
Yes, happy are the merciful,

     Eb/B               Eb
In God’s eyes they are beautiful.
