Holy Temples Ever Rising (Manookin)
Music for Choirs, Submitted Music (1992-1997)
Holy temples ever rising
In the east and in the west
Shout to all the invitation:
Enter in and here be blessed!
Here be given sacred knowledge;
Here be taught celestial lore:
Light to show the open pathway
Up to Heaven’s beck’ning door.
Holy temples ever rising
In the north and in the south
Let us hear divine instruction –
Guidance from our Savior’s mouth!
Here we feel the breath of angels;
Here we’re warm’d by Heaven’s fires;
Here we find the rich fulfillment
Of our holiest desires!
Holy temples ever rising
In the islands of the sea
Lift a beacon to the nations:
Here be blessed eternally!
Here be freed of wars and tumults;
Here let enmities all cease!
Here be heal’d by our Messiah,
In one long Millennial peace!
