Our Bodies the Temples of the Holy Ghost

Verse 1

And will the offended God again Return and dwell with sinful men? Will he within this bosom raise A living temple to his praise?

Verse 2

The joyful news transports my breast, All hail! I cry, thou heav'nly guest! Lift up your heads, ye powers within, And let the king of glory in.

Verse 3

Enter with all thy heav'nly train, Here live, and here forever reign: Thy sceptre o'er my passions sway, Let love command, and I'll obey.

Verse 4

Reason and conscience shall submit, And pay their homage at thy feet: To thee I'll consecrate my heart, And bid each rival thence depart.
