Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Matthew 5:8
Words & Music: Thoro Harris, 1911 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Look for the beautiful, look for the true;
Look for the beautiful, life’s journey thro’.
Seeking true loveliness, joy you will know,
As to the home above onward you go.
Refrain
Look for the beautiful, seek to find the true,
God and the beautiful will dwell with you;
Look for the beautiful, seek to find the true,
You shall be beautiful, beautiful within.
Think of the beautiful, think of the pure;
Only the beautiful long can endure.
God to His lowly ones giveth more grace
;
None but the pure in heart look on His face.
Refrain
Speak of the beautiful, speak of the pure;
These to eternity fadeless endure.
Error shall vanish soon, evil decay;
God and the beautiful pass not away.
Refrain
Look to the stars of light (not down to earth);
All that is beautiful there had its birth.
Upward and forward go, looking above;
There is the dwelling-place of perfect love.
Refrain
