Exodus 30:22-25, 34-36

 
 1 

Pure myrrh and cinnamon,

Calamus and cassia —

These are Thy elements,

Jesus my Lord!

In olive oil they're blent

In wondrous measurement —

O what an ointment this,

Anointing us!

 

Four-in-one mingled,

Compounded Spirit,

Sweet with Christ's suffering death,

Full of fragrance

Of resurrection —

O what an ointment flows

In spirit, Lord!

 
 2 

Stacte and onycha,

Galbanum and frankincense —

There are Thy elements,

Jesus my Lord!

Stacte doth sons produce,

Onycha from sin doth loose,

Galbanum all death repels,

In spirit, Lord.

 

Equal proportion,

In resurrection;

Seasoned with salt are they.

Ground into powder fine,

Consumed with fire divine —

O what an incense this,

Jesus my Lord!

 
 3 

Ointment is Christ for us,

Exceeding glorious!

Incense is Christ for God,

Wholly for Him.

Ointment flows down to us,

Christ is our portion thus;

Incense ascends to God,

Fragrant to Him.

 

'Tis by th' anointing

Christ we experience

And then the incense burn.

Christ in our prayer and praise —

O what a Christ we raise

From our experience,

Precious to God.
