The priest�s position holy is;
He sacrifices e�er to God,
Beholds His beauty, incense burns
Of prayer before the Lord.
Let us the incense burn
Of prayer before the Lord;
The lamp we�d light,
through day and night
Our praise to Him outpoured.
No natural light, but just the lamp
Within the holy place gives sight;
Whene�er the priest the incense burns,
The lamp he too must light.
The grace of God let us extol
And stir our heart sweet
praise to sing;
For priests not only light the lamp,
But constant praises bring.
I�ll offer prayers as incense burns,
Christ�s resurrection bring therein,
God�s wish thus meet,
His heart give joy,
And I�ll rejoice with Him.
I�ll read His Word, His light receive,
E�en as the lamp before Him lit,
His holy light illum�ning me
To others I�ll transmit.
Unto the Lord His praise I�ll sing
As holy priests their songs did raise;
O may my heart be filled with Him
His love and grace to praise.
I�ll offer Christ to God in prayer,
I�ll read the Word, His light to know,
For all His grace I�ll sing His praise,
The Spirit then may flow.
