Verses:  1   2   3   4   5   6 

 

 1  O how blessed is the priest's life,

       Christ to him is all in all:

    All His clothing, food, and dwelling,

       And His portion therewithal.

 

O how blessed is the priest's life,

   Christ to him is all in all:

All His clothing, food, and dwelling,

   And His portion therewithal.

 

 2  All the clothing of his service

       Is the beauty of the Lord;

    Glorious splendor do his garments,

       Breast and shoulder-piece afford.

 

O how blessed is the priest's life,

   Christ to him is all in all:

All His clothing, food, and dwelling,

   And His portion therewithal.

 

 3  When in sacrifice he offers

       Christ to God as God has willed,

    Then as food he doth enjoy Him

       And is with His riches filled.

 

O how blessed is the priest's life,

   Christ to him is all in all:

All His clothing, food, and dwelling,

   And His portion therewithal.

 

 4  Putting on the Lord as clothing,

       Christ without he doth express;

    Eating, drinking, with Him mingled,

       Christ within doth him possess.

 

O how blessed is the priest's life,

   Christ to him is all in all:

All His clothing, food, and dwelling,

   And His portion therewithal.

 

 5  Holy, glorious is their dwelling,

       'Tis the increase of the Lord;

    Here the priests built up together

       Unto God a house afford.

 

O how blessed is the priest's life,

   Christ to him is all in all:

All His clothing, food, and dwelling,

   And His portion therewithal.

 

 6  All his portion, all his living,

       Everything the priests possess —

    All is Christ and Christ forever,

       In His all-inclusiveness.

 

O how blessed is the priest's life,

   Christ to him is all in all:

All His clothing, food, and dwelling,

   And His portion therewithal.
