The House Of The Lord Hymn


When I approached my friend, Marion Say, about working with me on a hymn recognizing the fulfillment of ancient prophecy with the building of temples all over the world, I was surprised to hear her reply.  She attended the temple in the Philippines while serving a mission in Japan. Seeing the large number Latter-day Saints attending the temple, she had already been planning words to a hymn on the same subject!

The music to this hymn came to me while reading Isaiah 2:2-3, and was further refined as Marion’s lyrics took shape.  I wrote a small portion of the lyrics, and Marion took on the lion’s share.  This hymn was written as a submission for our new hymnal in 2019.
