Sanctuary of our home


Sanctuary of our home
Encircled is this great big dome
Encircled it is, in a wall of fire
Up to the top, in a glistening spire
Home, sanctuary of our home
from spire to glistening dome
To build this it took many a hand
A wonderful glorious band
They built all the spires and the floors
They built every richly-carved chair and door
Home, sanctuary of our home
Is far more beautiful than even Rome
It seems a magical fairyland
To build this it took many a hand
Sanctuary of our home
From tower and turret to glistening dome
They built all the carpets, they built all the lamps
They built all the rooms and step-like ramps
Home, sanctuary of our home
It is a fairyland
