- There is a blest pavilion,
A sacred inner court,
The place of God�s own dwelling
With all the world shut out.
Oh, holy resting place!
Oh, calm and pure retreat!
Where God unveils His face,
And life is only sweet.
- Refrain:
Oh, sweet and tranquil home,
Where only God is known!
- Within this greater temple,
Built by the Son of God,
We�ve found a full salvation,
And entered through the blood.
Here on the mercy seat,
Beneath the cherubim,
We dwell in love complete,
And heaven�s glory hymn.
- We reach the cleansing laver,
The blood has been applied,
Then on the golden altar,
We�re wholly sanctified.
Within the second veil,
Oh, holy! holy place!
With joyful lips we tell
The fullness of His grace.
- Oh, glory be to Jesus!
I�ve boldly entered in
The secret of His presence,
And triumph over sin.
My soul is hid away
In God, with Jesus Christ;
And here I�ll ever stay,
In sweet, eternal rest.
