PRIEST

His priestly order, that of Melchisedec,

Is intransmissible, and has no end,

Triumphant over the tentacles of death.

In priestly garb “Holinesse on the Head”,

Light and perfection cherished within the breast,

“Harmonious bells below, raising the dead”

To bear and lead them to lasting life and rest,

In heavenly blue - thus our true Aaron’s drest.

He has approached as perfect offerer,

His offering perfection of Himself:

In power of blood which He Himself had shed

He made the way into the holiest.

This refers to the poem by George Herbert
