Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Brethren, pow’r by earthly standardsComes by rank or wealth or sword;But the pow’r above all othersIs the priesthood of our Lord.
2. It is ours, the total armor—Priesthood held by Christ, our Lord—If, as brethren, we are worthyOf the Spirit’s whispered word.
3. Let us venture forth in freedomWith the priesthood as our guide—Deacons, teachers, priests, and elders,Seeking virtue side by side.
