 1 

The Holy Spirit is the seal,

The foretaste, earnest, and the pledge.

He designates us as God's own

And guarantees our heritage.

 
 2 

'Twas after we believed in Christ,

The word of truth, the gospel, heard,

The Holy Spirit us did seal

To show that we belong to God.

 
 3 

This Spirit as the living seal,

To us God's image now imparts;

Conforming us unto the Son,

He stamps His image in our hearts.

 
 4 

This Spirit also is the pledge,

Our earnest and our foretaste true.

He witnesses that we are sons,

With God's inheritance in view.

 
 5 

'Tis by this Spirit God does spread

Into our mind, emotion, will;

By sealing every inward part,

He will our very being fill.

 
 6 

Oh, Lord, we would cooperate

With all Thy Spirit's inward move;

That we'd become Thy masterpiece,

Th' eternal purpose thus to prove.
