Oh What a Beautiful Morning

Gilbert Arizona Temple Dedication

Leslie and I were privileged to go inside the temple for the dedication today. It was awesome and so reverent feeling.This hymn just came flooding through my mind.

♫♫♥  Oh What Song of the Heart  ♥♫♫

Oh, what songs of the heart 

we shall sing all the day

When again we assemble at home,

When we meet ne'er to part 

With the blest o'er the way

There no more from our loved ones to roam!

When we meet ne'er to part, 

Oh, what songs of the heart

We shall sing in our beautiful home.

Tho our rapture and bliss 

There's no song can express

We will shout, we will sing o'er and o'er,

As we greet with a kiss, 

And with joy we caress

 All our loved ones that passed on before;

As we greet with a kiss, 

In our rapture and bliss

All our loved ones that passed on before.

Oh, the visions we'll see in the home of the blest,

There's no word, there's no thought can impart,

But our rapture will be all the soul can attest,

In the heavenly songs of the heart;

But our rapture will be in the visions we'll see

Best expressed in the songs of the heart.

Oh, what songs we'll employ! 

Oh, what welcome we'll hear!

While our transports of love are complete,

AS the heart swells with joy 

In embraces most dear

When our Heavenly parents we meet!

As the heart swells with joy, 

Oh,what songs we'll employ,

When our heavenly parents we meet!

Gettting to the temple at 6:45 

and standing basically in line for 

1 to 1-1/2 hours was worth it all. 

I used the new white cane I bought 

and Kirk resized for me

 to use inside the beautiful temple...

Again I felt like I was in a heaven on earth. 

I always feel close to heaven when 

I am in a beautiful sacred 

House of the Lord.

Especially this new Gilbert Temple.
