God Is In His Holy Temple
God Is In His Holy Temple
1. God is in his holy temple.Earthly thots be silent now,While with rev’rence we assembleAnd before his presence bow.He is with us, now and ever,When we call upon his name,Aiding ev’ry good endeavor,Guiding ev’ry upward aim.
2. God is in his holy temple,In the pure and holy mind.In the rev’rent heart and simple;In the soul from sense refined.Banish then each base emotion.Lift us up, O Lord, to thee;Let our souls in pure devotion,Temples for thy worship be.
