Lyrics
Then he brought me the way of the north gate Before the house and I looked and behold the glory of the LORD Filled the house of the LORD and I fell on my face
And the LORD said unto me son of man mark well And behold with your eyes and hear with your ears All that I say unto you concerning all the ordinances Of the house of the LORD and all the laws thereof
And mark well the entering in of the house With every going forth of the sanctuary And speak to the rebellious even to the house of Israel
Thus says the Lord God O house of Israel Let it suffice you of all your abominations In that you have brought into my sanctuary Strangers uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh
To profane it even my house While you offer my bread the fat and the blood And they have broken my covenant Because of all your abominations
And you have not kept the charge of my holy things But you have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary For yourselves The sons of Zadok that kept the charge of my sanctuary
They shall come near to me to minister unto me And they shall stand before me to offer unto me The fat and the blood says the Lord God
They shall enter into my sanctuary And they shall come near to my table To minister unto me and they shall keep my charge They shall be clothed with linen garments
And no wool shall come upon them While they minister in the gates of the inner court Linen bonnets shall be upon their heads And linen breeches shall be upon their loins
