Metaphor in Context
Father, make good Thy word of grace,
And purify the priestly race
Who minister in things divine,
Out of their hearts the dross remove,
Their worldly care, and worldly love;
As silver and as gold refine.
And purify the priestly race
Who minister in things divine,
Out of their hearts the dross remove,
Their worldly care, and worldly love;
As silver and as gold refine.
