SEASONS 161
CHRIST THE PRIEST ABOVE US
Christ the Prie.st above us,
Ordained of God for all living.
Christ the Priest above us.
To-night, the night of the cross of agony,
The cross of anguish to which Christ was crucified.
Christ the Priest above us.
Noble the Gift ! noble the Poor !
Noble the Man of this night.
Christ the Priest above us.
It was Bride the fair who went on her knee,
It is the King of glory who is in her lap.
Christ the Priest above us.
I hear the hills, I hear the seas,
I hear the angels heralding to earth
Christ the Priest above us.
I hear Cairbre of the shapely, rounded limbs,
Coining softly in friendship to us.
Christ the Priest above us.
Great the assemblage upon this knoll,
Without the envy of man to another.
Christ the Priest above us.
I am servant of God the Son at the door.
Oh ! arise thou thyself and open to me.
Christ the Priest above us.
