1 Este templo dedicamos
a tu gloria, oh Señor,
Para el culto de tus hijos
que te sirven con amor.
De las manos es hechura,
expresión de nuestra fe;
Es tributo que te ofrendan
los creyentes, Padre fiel.

2 Por tu gracia, Dios eterno,
gran artífice y Señor,
Esta ofrenda hoy bendice
con tu Espíritu de amor.
Este templo dedicamos
a tu gloria, oh Señor,
Para el culto de tus hijos
que te sirven con amor.
