Holy Temples on Mount Zion

1. Holy temples on Mount Zion In a lofty splendor shine, Avenues to exaltation, Symbols of a love divine. And their kindly portals beckon To serenity and prayer, Valiant children of the promise, Pledged to sacred service there.

2. Merciful and gracious Father, Purify our hearts, we pray; Bless our mission of redemption In thy hallowed house each day; Till at length our faithful kindred, Sealed with us eternally In celestial bonds of union, Sing hosannas unto thee.

3. Sing aloud, ye heavenly chorus, Anthems of eternal praise To the glorious King Immanuel! Sing with Saints of latter-days! Let the mountains shout for gladness, And the valleys joyful be, While the stars acclaim in rapture, For the prisoners shall go free.
