LILT: Halleluja 3.1

Funnily enough, the recent use and redevelopment of my Halleluja LILT on Facebook has highlighted a need for further change:
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
Their pure 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 bells strike the hour
[Hallelujah]
He folds his hands and knees in prayer
[Hallelujah]
He is a single priest and
[Hallelujah]
Neighbourly love is in his lesson
[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 bells strike the hour
[Hallelujah]
He folds his hands and knees in prayer
[Hallelujah]
He is a single priest and
[Hallelujah]
Neighbourly love is in his lesson
[Hallelujah]

When the church bells strike the hour
[Hallelujah]
He includes the boy in his prayers
[Hallelujah]
He is a true Christian
[Hallelujah]
Charity no mystery to him
[Hallelujah]
Turn slowly around
Turn around
