It takes the pure to see the lord

Is this lyrics grammatically correct?

"Purer, pure and pure in heart

It takes the pure to see the lord"

I think it should be 'purity' but it doesn't sound well to me.


I need something that will fit in 8 syllables.

Only the pure can see the Lord. (8 syllables, iambic meter.)

Loving kindness leads them forward,
