Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. The temple is a sacred place, When I am grown I shall go there, To feel a love and joy and peace, And learn of Heavenly Father’s care.
2. If while I grow I do what’s right, Prepare myself the best I can, I’ll know the joy of temple work, And marry by the gospel plan.
