Temple of God! Where through thy corridors The mighty organ peals. With accents hushed in prayer The Congregation kneels, And in one voice of thankfulness God's richest grace implores. Temple of God! A breath of symmetry Pervades thy spacious halls. From nave to chancelled choir Resounds each tower and wall With songs of living fire, In sacred harmony. Temple of God! Where little children meet Rings each arch and rafter With voices glad in song And bubbling childish laughter, Which like an incense rises To God's own judgment seat.
