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.
