Where the sprinkling of the blood is

lyricist: Witness Lee
Composer: John Stainer

Where the sprinkling of the blood is

There the ointment doth remain;

Man in touch with God thus bringing

These the fellowship maintain.

Blood

the emblem of redemption

Cleansing all the sins away;

Ointment

symbol of the Spirit

Bringing God to man for aye.

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.

By the blood of Christ’s redemption

We are cleansed from all alloy;

By th’ anointing of the Spirit

God Himself we may enjoy.

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.

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.

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.
