The Holy Spirit is the seal

The Holy Spirit is the seal, The foretaste, earnest, and the pledge. He designates us as God’s own And guarantees our heritage. |

’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. |

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. |

This Spirit also is the pledge, Our earnest and our foretaste true. He witnesses that we are sons, With God’s inheritance in view. |

’Tis by this Spirit God does spread Into our mind, emotion, will; By sealing every inward part, He will our very being fill. |

Oh Lord, we would cooperate With all Thy Spirit’s inward move; That we’d become Thy masterpiece, Th’ eternal purpose thus to prove. |
