|  | 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. |
