| 1 | The holiest of God’s temple is |
| | The inmost part; the mercy seat, |
| | God’s presence and the ark are there, |
| | And there the priests the Lord may meet. |
| 2 | Now we’re God’s temple in three parts; |
| | Our inmost part the spirit is; |
| | There God and Christ as Spirit dwell, |
| | The holiest place of holy ‘tis. |
| 3 | ’Tis here within our inmost part |
| | That God in Christ is all to us; |
| | ’Tis here the Holy Spirit makes |
| | The Lord reality to us. |
| 4 | ’Tis here within the spirit-part |
| | We contact Christ and dwell with Him; |
| | ’Tis by our spirit we with God |
| | Have fellowship and worship Him. |
| 5 | ’Tis here that Christ is like the land |
| | Where we may dwell, its wealth enjoy; |
| | ’Tis here that we must fight the foe, |
| | And Christ’s authority employ. |
| 6 | The spirit we must seek to know, |
| | Discerning spirit from the soul, |
| | And live within this holiest place, |
| | To worship God and reach His goal. |
| 7 | The soul we ever must forsake, |
| | Press on, God’s rest to enter in, |
| | That Christ we may possess in full |
| | And all God’s plan fulfill therein. |
