Lyrics

Holy temple; hallowed walls;
  filled with heaven's light
Where the Spirit teaches truth
  and testifies of Christ
There within that holy place
   our hearts are made as one
United by the power of God
   in pure eternal love

Chorus:
House of learning; house of faith;
   house of peace and prayer;
House of glory; house of God;
   I’ll feel his presence there
I will stand with heart and hands
   kept clean and pure each day
Worthy of the blessings found
   in that holy place

Holy temple where we learn
   creation's grand design
Where our souls will be endowed
   with power from on high
There we kneel, our hearts prepared
   , to cov'nant with our Lord
And there his Spirit binds our lives
   in love forever more

(Repeat Chorus)

Holy temple where we bless
   our loved ones gone before
Where eternal ties are sealed
   by sacred priesthood pow'r
There we turn our hearts to those
   who gave us life and birth
How beautiful that holy place
   where heaven dwells on earth

(Repeat Chorus)
