Blessèd are they who do His commandments,
They shall claim the tree of life;
Into the city they shall enter,
They are victors in the strife.
Refrain
Blessèd are they who do His commandments,
Blessèd are they, blessèd are they;
Into the city they shall enter,
Blessèd, blessèd, blessèd are they.
Blessèd are they who do His commandments,
They shall wear the robes of white;
Under the portals God shall lead them,
They shall serve Him day and night.
Refrain
Blessèd are they who do His commandments,
They shall stand before the throne;
Into the life of joy eternal,
God shall claim them for His own.
