Representative lyrics

English (Original Language)

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.
