Looking For Source For Quotation

[Duncan]

In the January 1977 Ensign Pres. Kimball quoted this little verse about the Temple,

Enter this door as if the floor within were gold;

And every wall of jewels all of wealth untold;

As if a choir in robes of fire were singing here;

Nor shout nor rush but hush … for God is here.

(From “Words of Life,” p. 45.)

Does anyone know what the "Words of Life" is? a book, article? Pres. Kimball, says in the article, "When we enter the door of the house of the Lord, we might well remember a theme that was mentioned in the Washington Temple:" and then he provides the above quotation

I found this:

Enter the Church

as if the floor

within were gold,

and every wall

of jewels

all of wealth untold;

as if a choir

in robes of fire

were singing here.

Nor shout, nor rush,

but hush….

FOR GOD IS HERE.
