The Priesthood of Our Lord (Optional round)
The Priesthood of Our Lord (Optional round)
1. Ⓐ Brethren, pow’r by earthly standards
Ⓑ Comes by rank or wealth or sword;
Ⓒ But the pow’r above all others
Ⓓ Is the priesthood of our Lord.
2. Ⓐ It is ours, the total armor
Ⓑ Priesthood held by Christ, our Lord—
Ⓒ If, as brethren, we are worthy
Ⓓ Of the Spirit’s whispered word.
3. Ⓐ Let us venture forth in freedom
Ⓑ With the priesthood as our guide—
Ⓒ Deacons, teachers, priests, and elders,
Ⓓ Seeking virtue side by side.
