If I could look upon You, my tongue would strip of speech And all imagination would fail to honor Thee You’re the origin of beauty, the loveliest of all There is simply no one like our sovereign God God, be praised in Your sanctuary, in Your mighty dwelling Let everything that has breath praise Your name In Your holy temple, stand in awe and tremble And marvel at Your greatness Within, Your walls are dazzling, tapestry are formed Of color, sound and light and life, the splendor of the Lord Where everything is pleasing, it’s perfect in design Where everyone cries, “Holy is the Lord Most High” I would rather be a doorkeeper in Your temple Than take the place of honor at the wicked’s table Praise Him in the heights, all you angels cry “Holy is the Lord Most High” Praise Him, all you saints here on earth below “Holy is the Lord of Hosts”
