Lord as I look upon Thy holy house
I know I stand on hallowed ground
My soul is lifted up to higher paths
With natures beauty all around
And as I contemplate Thy wondrous plan
Unfolded here within these walls
I speak a prayer of thanks within my heart
And tears of gratitude now fall
Lord as I look upon Thy holy house
With heaven's blessings held in store
I joy in every sacred ordinance
Performed for those who've gone before
And as I ponder solemn covenants
Made there within this house of peace
I long with worthy saints to enter in
This place where earth and heaven meet
Lord as I look upon Thy holy house
Whose spires ascend to heaven above
I sense the vastness of eternity
I feel the? of Thy love
And when I think of earthly families
Sealed here for all eternity
I feel assurance then of lasting joy
And endless happiness with Thee
