“Meek — as the meek that shall inherit earth,
Pure — as the pure in heart that shall see God.”

Dinah Craik (1826–1887) English novelist and poet

Poems (1866), Our Father's Business
Context: This, this is Thou. No idle painter's dream
Of aureoled, imaginary Christ,
Laden with attributes that make not God;
But Jesus, son of Mary; lowly, wise,
Obedient, subject unto parents, mild,
Meek — as the meek that shall inherit earth,
Pure — as the pure in heart that shall see God.
