Blessed are those that are Undefiled by Maurice Greene — Lyrics
Blessed are those that are undefiled in the way,
and walk in the Law of the Lord.
Blessed are they that keep his Testimonies,
and seek him with their whole heart.
Thou hast charged that we shall diligently keep thy Commandments.
O that my ways were made so direct, that I might keep thy Statutes.
Open thou mine Eyes, that I may see the wondrous things of thy Law.

About Blessed are those that are Undefiled
Blessed are those that are Undefiled is a sacred verse anthem by Maurice Greene for SATB choir. The text, drawn from Psalm 119, expresses a deep devotion to God's law and commandments. It opens with a declaration of blessedness for those who walk in God's ways, seeking Him with their whole heart. The verses explore a yearning for divine guidance to understand and keep God's statutes, culminating in a joyful commitment to speaking of God's praise and singing of His word. Greene's setting would have provided opportunities for solo voices within the verse anthem structure, alongside the full choir parts. It is a thoughtful and personal reflection on faith and obedience.
