Author: Edith R. Wilson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12532 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Oh, glorious in beauty Lyrics: 1 Oh, glorious in beauty
The temple rose of old,
Its pillars hung with purple,
Is portals crowned with gold.
Refrain:
Thou art Thyself that temple,
Oh Christ, our Savior, king,
Whom earthly shrine and glory
Were but foreshadowing.
2 But to the second temple
Came Christ, the temple’s king,
Whom sacrifice and altar
Were but foreshadowing. [Refrain]
3 Thou art the golden altar
Whereon our gifts are laid;
Thyself the bleeding victim,
By whom our sins are paid. [Refrain]
4 The veil by which we enter
The holiest shrine within;
The priest who stands in offer
A sacrifice for sin. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: DONGGUAN
