PRIESTLY PEOPLE by Fr. Lucien Deiss, C.S.Sp — Lyrics

REFRAIN Priestly people, Kingly people, Holy people, God's chosen people, Sing praise to the Lord. VERSE 1 We sing to you, O Christ beloved Son of the Father. We give you praise, O Wisdom everlasting, and Word of God. VERSE 2 We sing to you, O Son, born of Mary the Virgin. We give you praise, our Brother, born to heal us, our saving Lord. VERSE 3 We sing to you, O brightness of splendor and glory. We give you praise, O Morning Star, announcing the coming day. VERSE 4 We sing to you, O light bringing men out of darkness. We give you praise, O guiding Light, who shows us the way to heaven. VERSE 5 We sing to you, Messiah foretold by the prophets. We give you praise, O Son of David and Son of Abraham.
