Enter the veil and go without the camp

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
