Praise the Lord, who firmly joined us Unto the Anointed One. Thus we all have been anointed With th' anointing of the Son. |
2 |
Now in Christ, in the anointing, We are the anointed ones. Oh, how blessed is this ointment Poured upon the many sons! |
3 |
Hallelujah, the anointing Unto us God's essence brings; It is now abiding in us, And it teaches us all things. |
4 |
We're the Lord's peculiar treasure, Purchased by His precious blood. He has put His seal upon us, We are those marked out by God. |
5 |
Day by day we're under sealing, That we may His likeness share. By the impress of His Person We will Jesus' image bear. |
6 |
Now we have the pledge, the foretaste, Of the Christ we soon will see. We are longing for the full taste — God, our feast eternally. |
7 |
God has wrought us for this purpose, Giving us the earnest here, Guarantee of full enjoyment Of our Lord Himself, so dear. |
8 |
The anointing, seal, and earnest — In our spirit are all three. Such a wondrous, blest deposit God has given you and me. |
