The Priest Lyrics

To live in the midst of the world

Without wishing its pleasures

To be a member of each family

Yet belonging to none

To share all suffering

To penetrate all secrets

To heal all wounds

To go from men to God

And offer Him their prayers

To return from God to men

To bring pardon and hope

To have a heart of fire for Charity

And a heart of bronze for Chastity

To teach and to pardon

Console and bless always

My God, what a life and it is yours

O priest of Jesus Christ

To have a heart of fire for Charity

And a heart of bronze for Chastity

To teach and to pardon

Console and bless always

My God, what a life and it is yours

O priest of Jesus Christ
