I have an unc¤tion from the ho¤ly one,
To teach me all that God would have me know,
And lead me now to walk in all the truth,
While in this tab¤er¤nac¤le here be¤low.

The Spir¤it of the liv¤ing God will teach
His truth to ev¤ery will¤ing mind and heart.
An unc¤tion from the ho¤ly one with¤in
Shall loose the seals and truth di¤vine im¤part.

No man in heav’n or earth or un¤der¤neath
Can loose those seals which hide God’s mys¤ter¤y,
The Lamb, the Root of Da¤vid must pre¤vail,
His life and Spir¤it must pre¤vail in thee.

God’s ho¤ly one from glo¤ry un¤de¤filed,
Came down on earth, His Fa¤ther’s heart re¤vealed,
O’er all the powers of dark¤ness He pre¤vailed,
And He a¤lone can loose what God has sealed.

All things are cen¤tred in the price¤less gift,
This unc¤tion from the ho¤ly one a¤bove,
Oh, soul of mine let all with¤in you bow
To God’s all con¤q’ring, all pre¤vail¤ing love.

Oh, let the Son of God pre¤vail in you,
This is the se¤cret root of vic¤to¤ry,
God’s rev¤e¤la¤tion cen¤tres in His Son,
His Son a¤lone has power to set you free.

I have an unc¤tion from the ho¤ly one,
Oh, soul of mine you are not left a¤lone,
This unc¤tion is to teach thee to a¤bide
In Him who cen¤tres in th’e¤ter¤nal throne.
