1. What a blessing, what a priv'lege!
  Called of God a royal priest,
  That this glorious, holy office
  I should bear, though last and least.
(Chorus:)
  All the building of the Body
  On the priesthood doth depend;
  Ever praying in the spirit
  I this office would attend.
2. If I keep this royal calling
  Under Thine authority,
  Priestly duty thus fulfilling,
  Then the church will builded be.
3. Now the church is but the priesthood;
  Thus the priesthood formed we need;
  When the priests are knit together,
  Then the church is built indeed.
(Chorus:)
  All the building of the Body
  On the priesthood doth depend;
  Ever praying in the spirit
  I this office would attend.
4. Through the church's degradation,
  Saints this office desolate;
  Through the weakness of their spirits
  Preaching doth predominate.
5. Most are leaning on the message
  And the preaching emphasize,
  Yet neglect the priestly praying
  And their spirits' exercise.
(Chorus:)
  All the building of the Body
  On the priesthood doth depend;
  Ever praying in the spirit
  I this office would attend.
6. Deal with me and make me balanced,
  As in preaching, so in prayer;
  Leading others oft in praying,
  As Thy Word I too declare.
7. Only serving by our praying
  Will our spirits mingled be;
  Stressing prayer as much as preaching��
  Thus the church is built for Thee.
(Chorus:)
  All the building of the Body
  On the priesthood doth depend;
  Ever praying in the spirit
  I this office would attend.
