Enter the veil and go without the camp,
|
|
| 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 earth 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. |
