From This Golden Chalice

From this golden chalice Kings, Queens
   and Princes drank from as I have today:
    being cleansed of sins tormenting me!
       The humble priest prays to God
         as grace descends upon me!
               If love is forgiveness,
                  then I'm healed!
                     Come, Lord...
                      bless me,
                      and heal
                      me now!
                      My song
                      is simple,
                      but joyful:
                      my reward
                      is salvation!
        Very distant is that time when
        I will stand at your open gate!
