 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.
