Rejoice, Ye Saints of Latter-days

1. Rejoice, ye Saints of latter-days; Lift up your hearts in songs of praise; Another temple to our God Now stands upon this chosen sod, A house of holiness and love To him who sits enthroned above.

2. Again is reared from earth’s deep sod A temple to the Most High God; A house of prayer, a place of peace, Where envy, hate, and greed will cease, Where men will serve unselfishly Their kindred dead and set them free.

3. Oh, workmen, rear it tenderly In perfect form and symmetry. Let love be in this holy place; Let no crude act or word efface This sacred edifice of prayer; Oh, build it true with utmost care.

4. Oh, Saints, rejoice in this great day And worship him in his own way, For thus his kingdom will go forth Until his temples fill the earth; Then will the heavens sing above, And Christ descend to reign in love.
