William Preston Johnston - Stanley and Kingsley lyrics

I looked toward Zion with uplifted eyes, And saw upon its height that wondrous shrine, Built for his God by Solomon the Wise, Fit dwelling for Jehovah, Lord divine! On stone and cedar golden bucklers shine, But most of all its stately portal caught My rapt attention and reverent thought, With two grand pillars of inspired design. I looked again, but this time with the eye Of faith that gazed upon a fabric fair, Built by the spirit; pillars twain were there, "Established--strong"--"wisdom and charity;" Upon their front this legend, "These endure, Stanley and Kingsley make the saying sure."
