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.
