Holy Temples, Sacred Covenants

United in our desire
To strengthen sisterhood
We'll not let our faith expire
As we strive for what is good

The most sacred place on earth
Is the Lord's Holy temple
Here we find eternal worth
And promise as God's people

We've brought gifts for the altar
A heart that's pure, as we're contrite
And then in dress we alter
To show reverence that's clean and white

We must do all that we can
To experience and proclaim
The peace of our Father's plan
And the need to bear His name

Let's attend to our family
And maintain a recommend
We'll give our love more amply
As with names, to there we send

Dear sisters let's oft meet
And return to the holy ground
The highest blessings are sweet
Alongside loved ones safely found
