Eph. 1.30. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed to the day of redemption.
1 O Lord, now we perceive most clear Thy love is great indeed; Ah we shall the Inheritance have Which thou to buy didst bleed.
2 Thou wouldst not, Lord, bought it so dear Had not thy purpose been To make it sure unto our Souls In 'spite of World, or Sin;
3 And as for us thou didst it buy, And we the Earnest have, So now we also do espy A Seal to us does cleave.
4 We sealed are, O that's a thing Which highly's valued, And great assurance doth it bring Of what is purchased.
