1  Enter the veil and go without the camp,

    Taste heaven's sweetness, thus the earth forsake;

    If by the Holiest I am satisfied,

    How can I of earth's vanities partake?

 2  Enter the veil and go without the camp,

    By heaven's presence will the earth depart;

    If heaven's glory doth my spirit charm,

    How can earth's happiness possess my heart?

 3  Enter the veil, behold the glorious Christ,

    Go out the camp to Jesus, let Him lead;

    If throne and crown my spirit here enthrall,

    Manger and cross cannot my steps impede.

 4  Enter the veil for resurrection pow'r,

    Go out the camp to bear the cross and woe,

    If I His radiant face in heaven see,

    His footsteps I will follow here below.

 5  Enter the veil, on heaven's fatness feast,

    Without the camp, in hardship persevere;

    Though earthly trials sorely pain my heart,

    Heaven's communion doth my spirit cheer.

 6  Enter the veil, Christ's riches there enjoy,

    Without the camp, the needs of men supply;

    The life of heaven living out thru me

    The souls of earth will bless and satisfy.

 7  Enter the veil till it exists no more,

    Go out the camp till all the camps are gone;

    Until the heavens and the earth unite,

    Till God and man together dwell in one.
