The Priesthood of Our Lord

Lyrics

1. 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. 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. 3. Let us venture forth in freedom

   With the priesthood as our guide—

   Deacons, teachers, priests, and elders,

   Seeking virtue side by side.
