The priest’s position holy is;
He sacrifices e’er to God,
Beholds His beauty, incense burns
Of prayer before the Lord.
Let us the incense burn
Of prayer before the Lord;
The lamp we’d light,
through day and night
Our praise to Him outpoured.
No natural light, but just the lamp
Within the holy place gives sight;
Whene’er the priest
the incense burns,
The lamp he too must light.
Let us the incense burn
Of prayer before the Lord;
The lamp we’d light,
through day and night
Our praise to Him outpoured.
The grace of God let us extol
And stir our heart
sweet praise to sing;
For priests not only light the lamp,
But constant praises bring.
Let us the incense burn
Of prayer before the Lord;
The lamp we’d light,
through day and night
Our praise to Him outpoured.
I’ll offer prayers as incense burns,
Christ’s resurrection bring therein,
God’s wish thus meet,
His heart give joy,
And I’ll rejoice with Him.
Let us the incense burn
Of prayer before the Lord;
The lamp we’d light,
through day and night
Our praise to Him outpoured.
I’ll read His Word, His light receive,
E’en as the lamp before Him lit,
His holy light illum’ning me
To others I’ll transmit.
Let us the incense burn
Of prayer before the Lord;
The lamp we’d light,
through day and night
Our praise to Him outpoured.
Unto the Lord His praise I’ll sing
As holy priests their songs did raise;
O may my heart be filled with Him
His love and grace to praise.
Let us the incense burn
Of prayer before the Lord;
The lamp we’d light,
through day and night
Our praise to Him outpoured.
I’ll offer Christ to God in prayer,
I’ll read the Word, His light to know,
For all His grace I’ll sing His praise,
The Spirit then may flow.
Let us the incense burn
Of prayer before the Lord;
The lamp we’d light,
through day and night
Our praise to Him outpoured.
