 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.
