The Priest (Lacordaire)
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
O priest of Jesus Christ
Hoooh...
Without wishing its pleasures

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
O priest of Jesus Christ
Hoooh...
