Rh And every man, God's child and priest,

Is pledged to ministry divine,

Who sees the Ruler of life's feast

Turn water into wine;

Who hears the Father's voice above,

The Spirit's whispering within;

Who knows the Messenger of love

The Conqueror of sin.

Responsive to God's call, our Prayer

Art Thou, dear Lord, whene'er we pray;

So always now, and everywhere,

My heart keeps holiday.
