O ye Priests of the Lord, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
Ye Priests of God, your incense bring,
The fragrant offering of your praise;
Give thanks with morning's cheerful rays,
At tranquil eve your censers swing;
Let grateful thoughts, like blossoms, spring
To beautify life's common ways:
Ye Priests of God, your incense bring
The fragrant offering of your praise.
The fragrant offering of your praise;
Give thanks with morning's cheerful rays,
At tranquil eve your censers swing;
Let grateful thoughts, like blossoms, spring
To beautify life's common ways:
Ye Priests of God, your incense bring
The fragrant offering of your praise.
And, as ye move, sweet bells shall ring,
Spontaneous as the wild birds' lays;
And yours shall be harmonious days
In happy service of the King:
Ye Priests of God, your incense bring,
The fragrant offering of your praise.
Spontaneous as the wild birds' lays;
And yours shall be harmonious days
137
Ye Priests of God, your incense bring,
The fragrant offering of your praise.
