Cântăre Anointed

1. Blessed Spirit, for the asking,

Thou didst come into my heart;

Oh, I ever would adore Thee,

Never, never from Thee part;

Blessed Spirit, how I love Thee!

Dwell Thou ever in my heart.



* Refrain: Oh, this well of living water,

Springing up within my soul!

Life eternal to me giving,

Praise the Lord, I now am whole.



2. Thou dost tell me, blessed Spirit,

That my soul is born of God;

Thou dost witness to the cleansing

Wrought within by Jesus’ blood;

I am happy, ever happy,

Since my heart is Thine abode.



3. Oh, this wondrous, blest anointing

Which within me doth abide,

Witnessing to Jesus’ merit—

In Thy guidance I confide;

Thou wilt lead me, Thou wilt bring me,

Bring me to my Savior’s side.



4. Now I taste of heaven’s sweetness,

For my Savior in me lives;

Oh, the richness and completeness

Of this rest the Spirit gives!

Ever lead me, heav’nward lead me,

Conqu’ring pow’r unto me give.
