1.

Who comprehends the way of God’s salvation,
The way that leads into the Holy Place?
A bundant treasure in His sanctu’ry is hidden,
And there the mind of Christ you may embrace.

2.

I have a rich inheritance in heaven
Which is reserved for me—what can men say?
No pow’r on earth can rob me of this blest possession
That I have gained upon life’s narrow way.

3.

There is a city where the saints forever
Shall dwell in splendor, heaven’s glory share.
Naught that defiles the streets of gold may ever enter.
The throne of God and of the Lamb is there.

4.

Out from the throne flows water, pure and living,
And there the tree of life grows on each side.
Its fruit brings nourishment and life; its leaves bring healing.
All things have been prepared for Jesus’ bride!

5.

The long-awaited Bridegroom soon is coming.
Are you adorned, His holy bride to be?
Then when He comes with His reward, you’ll go to meet Him,
Because you kept His Word here faithfully.
