 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.
