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.
