Verse 1
Priests of the Lord, we stand between
Jehovah and the sons of men,
His awful will proclaim,
And offering up the people’s prayers,
To them, as God’s ambassadors,
We speak in Jesus Name.

Verse 2
The Lamb before his Father’s eyes,
The emblem of his sacrifice
We constantly present;
For man with God we interceed,
For God with guilty sinners plead,
And urge them to repent.

Verse 3
We live to make the Saviour known,
And bring his gifts and blessings down
On those who Christ obey;
Joyful in this to persevere,
For all a pastor’s business here
Is but to preach and pray.

Verse 4
Still let us earthly matters leave,
Ourselves to God entirely give
And to his church below,
Live out a life of prayer and love,
And to our great reward above
In Jesus footsteps go.
