1 O how blessed is the priest's life,
O how blessed is the priest's life,
Christ to him is all in all:
All His clothing, food, and dwelling,
And His portion therewithal.
2 All the clothing of his service
O how blessed is the priest's life,
Christ to him is all in all:
All His clothing, food, and dwelling,
And His portion therewithal.
O how blessed is the priest's life,
Christ to him is all in all:
All His clothing, food, and dwelling,
And His portion therewithal.
4 Putting on the Lord as clothing,
Christ without he doth express;
O how blessed is the priest's life,
Christ to him is all in all:
All His clothing, food, and dwelling,
And His portion therewithal.
5 Holy, glorious is their dwelling,
'Tis the increase of the Lord;
O how blessed is the priest's life,
Christ to him is all in all:
All His clothing, food, and dwelling,
And His portion therewithal.
6 All his portion, all his living,
Everything the priests possess —
O how blessed is the priest's life,
Christ to him is all in all:
All His clothing, food, and dwelling,
And His portion therewithal.
