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.

God's presence and the ark are there,

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.
Our inmost part the spirit is;

’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.

’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.
We contact Christ and dwell with Him;
’Tis by our spirit we with God
Have fellowship and worship Him.

’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.

’Tis here that we must fight the foe,
And Christ's authority employ.

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.
Discerning spirit from the soul,
And live within this holiest place,
To worship God and reach His goal.

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.
Press on, God's rest to enter in,
That Christ we may possess in full
And all God's plan fulfill therein.
