#547, #743

 
 1 

Where the sprinkling of the blood is,

There the ointment doth remain;

Man in touch with God thus bringing,

These the fellowship maintain.

 
 2 

Blood, the emblem of redemption,

Cleansing all the sins away;

Ointment, symbol of the Spirit,

Bringing God to man for aye.

 
 3 

Blood doth speak of what God worketh,

Ointment, what He is for us;

By His work and by His person

God Himself is blent with us.

 
 4 

By the blood of Christ's redemption

We are cleansed from all alloy;

By th' anointing of the Spirit

God Himself we may enjoy.

 
 5 

By the cleansing and anointing

We with God are kept in one;

By the blood and by the ointment

God, our portion full, is won.

 
 6 

We in faith must claim the cleansing

When we need the precious blood,

Ever to obey th' anointing,

Thus to live and walk with God.

 
 7 

God as light we'll then be knowing,

God experience as love,

And in God as life e'er growing,

God as power we will prove.
