Does anyone else remember singing this song as a child? I think my mother taught it to me.
In the temple, in the temple,
Stood a happy boy one day,
And the doctors wondered greatly
At the words they heard Him say.
Refrain:
It was Jesus!
It was Jesus!
Standing in the temple there.
And the light of heav’n was shining
In His face so pure and fair.
2.)It was Jesus who was teaching,
And they listened to His word,
As He told them of His mission
From the great and mighty Lord.
|| Refrain ||
3.)Let us ever then be eager
To sit down at Jesus’ feet.
To be learning from our Saviour,
And His lessons to repeat.
|| Refrain ||
FLORA KIRKLAND, 1921

This week we read the story of the young man Jesus talking with the elders and teachers in the Temple for several days while his parents searched for him. I should teach my children this song. I pray that we will all learn of Jesus in the temple on this Lord’s Day.

anyone have guitar chords (simple ones) for “In the Temple”??
I don’t have the chords but I would surely love to!! My mother used to play this song on the piano for me while I was growing up & now I’m learning the guitar and am hoping to find the chords, should anyone know of them I really would be appreciative if you would send me a copy. Hopefully waiting, Christine
I’m so happy to find this. I remember singing it at Vacation Bible School at my grandparents’ church in Goleta, California. I’ve always loved this song.
