Patricia Smith has also used the Breastplate of St Patrick as her inspiration along with Matt 5:1-12.
This is a gentle swung tune with much charm and feeling.
The sheet music can be purchased at Willow, where you can view the sample sheet music.
There is no musical preview at Willow of the tune, so my backing might give you the idea.
1 In the hungry and the poor, Christ is beside us,
Those who suffer and endure, Christ is before us,
In the gentle and the weak, in the humble and the meek,
Christ is with us now.
Refrain
Christ in our rising, Christ is our resting,
Christ our beginning, Christ in our giving,
Christ in our keeping, Christ is with us now.
Christ with us.
2 In the merciful and kind, Christ is around us,
Those who seek and those who find, Christ is among us,
In the ones who long for peace, those who mourn and those who weep,
Christ is with us now.
3 In the ones who dwell in shame, Christ on our right hand,
Those who work for justice’ sake, Christ on our left hand,
In the hated and oppressed, those who thirst for righteousness,
Christ is with us now.
4 In the homeless and the lost, Christ is below us,
Those who hope when hope is gone, Christ is above us,
In the broken those in pain, those who give and give again.
Christ is with us now.
