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. |
