Thy Holy Temple

Words by Marvin K. Gardner

Music by Vanja Y. Watkins

1. Thy temple shines with heav’nly light

Against the darkness of the night.

My heart rejoices at the sight.

I love Thy holy temple.

Each time I see Thy temple shine,

I think of promises divine

And all the blessings that are mine.

I love Thy holy temple.

2. Thy temple stands majestic’ly,

Inviting me, reminding me

To be the best that I can be.

I love Thy holy temple.

For temple marriage I’ll prepare.

I’ll seek Thy ordinances there.

With Thee I’ll covenant in prayer.

I love Thy holy temple.

I love Thy holy temple.
