The Lord Gave Me a Temple

Lyrics

1. 1. The Lord gave me a temple to live within on earth.

   Once in Heaven I was spirit, but I left my home at birth.

   I’ll make my temple brighter; I’ll keep my spirit free.

   My body is the temple my Father gave to me.

2. 2. If I keep my body clean and pure and habit-free,

   I may in Father’s temple claim blessings promised me.

   On resurrection morning, I’ll take my body bright

   And in celestial glory forever live in light.
