The Lord is in His holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven.—Psalm xi. 4.

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in His temple.—Psalm xxvii. 4.

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven.

And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.—Revelation, xxi. 2, 22.

Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise!

Exalt thy towering head, and lift thine eyes!

See a long race thy spacious courts adorn;

See future sons, and daughters yet unborn,

In crowding ranks, on every side arise,

Discarding life, impatient for the skies!
