I'm not sure if this is a step forward or back. The chorus has been blasted, and a few less dramatic changes have also been made. The chorus might have to be reverted, because though it works better rhythmically it is a bit odd:
Deeply feeling and so pious
On his wall Our Lord is nailed
He wipes the defects from the Bible
He gives Communion without fail
He loves all the choir boys
With their souls so crystal 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 is a single cleric
[Hallelujah]
Neighbourly love is esoteric
[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 is a single cleric
[Hallelujah]
Neighbourly love is esoteric
[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
