 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 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.
