The Priest

   A           AM7           D        Bm
To live in the midst of the world  Without

   E           AM7    E
enjoying its pleasures;

         AM7            Em     A7          D         Bm
To be a member of every family     Yet belonging to none;

              C#m                Bm         Bm/A
To share all sufferings, to penetrate all secrets,

    E          A      Em7
To heal all wounds.


Refrain:

      A7       D       C#             F#m
   To go from men to God    and offer Him their pray’rs

                  Bm                   E                 A
   To return from God to men to bring pardon, peace and hope.


To have a heart of fire for charityAnd a heart of bronze for
chastity. To teach and to pardon, to console, And to bless. My
God, what a life!And it is yours, O Priest of Jesus Christ.
