Only one word changed this time, but it works better, so it's worth an iteration:
Deeply feeling and so pious
On his wall Our Lord is nailed
He wipes defacement from the Bible
He gives Communion without fail
He loves all the choir boys
With their souls so pure and clear
But the tenor gives him pause
So he has to keep him near
On the nightstand, not a sound
Our Lord's image
Is turned slowly 'round
When the church clock strikes the hour
[Hallelujah]
He folds his hands and knees in prayer
[Hallelujah]
He's a single clergyman
[Hallelujah]
So he must share his love as he can
[Hallelujah]
The youth is allowed to stay
Sin nests at half his height
Reverend Father kneels to pray
To music and candlelight
When the church clock strikes the hour
[Hallelujah]
He folds his hands and knees in prayer
[Hallelujah]
He's a single clergyman
[Hallelujah]
So he must share his love as he can
[Hallelujah]
When the church clock strikes the hour
[Hallelujah]
He folds his hands and knees in prayer
[Hallelujah]
He is a true Christian
[Hallelujah]
Charity no mystery to him
[Hallelujah]
Turn slowly around
Turn around

There is something really compelling about this song. I keep coming back to it. I think it's that dramatic chorus. It's great.
