“In That Holy Place,” Liahona, Dec. 2002, 20–21
In That Holy Place
1. Holy temple, hallowed walls are filled with heaven’s light.
There the Spirit teaches truth and testifies of Christ.
There within that holy place our hearts are made as one,
United by the pow’r of God in pure eternal love.
House of learning, house of faith, house of peace and prayer,
House of glory, house of God—I’ll feel His presence there.
I will stand with heart and hands kept clean and pure each day,
Worthy of the blessings found in that holy place.
2. Holy temple where we learn creation’s grand design,
Where our souls will be endowed with power from on high.
There we kneel, our hearts prepared, to cov’nant with our Lord.
And there His Spirit binds our lives in love forever more.
House of learning, house of faith, house of peace and prayer,
House of glory, house of God—I’ll feel His presence there.
I will stand with heart and hands kept clean and pure each day,
Worthy of the blessings found in that holy place.
3. Holy temple where we bless our loved ones gone before,
Where eternal ties are sealed by sacred priesthood pow’r.
There we turn our hearts to those who gave us life and birth.
How beautiful that holy place where heaven dwells on earth.
House of learning, house of faith, house of peace and prayer,
House of glory, house of God—I’ll feel His presence there.
I will stand with heart and hands kept clean and pure each day,
Worthy of the blessings found in that holy place.
Harmony
House of faith, house of prayer—
I will feel His presence there.
Heart and hands kept clean and pure each day,
Worthy of the blessings found in that holy place, that holy place.
