Lord in Thy humanity,
To mortal eye display'd
We an holy Temple see
For Thy great Father made:
At Thine incarnation built
The house Divine was fill'd with God:
When Thy sacred blood was spilt
The Temple was destroy'd.

The house Divine was fill'd with God:
When Thy sacred blood was spilt
The Temple was destroy'd.
When Thou didst to life return,
The' immortal Son of Man,
On that third triumphant morn
The Temple rose again,
Rose rebuilt by hands Divine
And stands to be destroy'd no more,
Glorious everlasting Shrine
Which earth and heaven adore.

Temple of the Deity,
Thou art the Victim too:
Rising by Thy ruins, we
Our smiling Father view:
Jesus Thy destruction was
Salvation, life, for all mankind;
All ascending on Thy cross
May God in glory find.
