God's new day
 (for ordinations)

Refrain:             Ordin'ry days in ordin'ry time,
                            Our festal days a memory,
                            No matter what the calendar,
                            The Paraclete is here.

	1.The priest is in her chasuble,
              The old boys' club is history,
              The children have both bread and wine,
              The promised day has dawned.
