Praise the Lord, who firmly joined us

| 1. | 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 ill 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. |
