The Holy Spirit is the seal, 神的聖靈乃是印記,

1

The Holy Spirit is the seal,
神的聖靈乃是印記,
The foretaste, earnest, and the pledge.
就是豫嘗、憑質、擔保;
He designates us as God’s own
指定我們屬神自己,
And guarantees our heritage.
保證基業給我得到。

2

’Twas after we believed in Christ,
只要我們相信基督,
The word of truth, the gospel, heard,
聽見福音真理的話,
The Holy Spirit us did seal
聖靈便將我們標出,
To show that we belong to God.
指明我們今後屬祂。

3

This Spirit as the living seal,
聖靈乃是活的印記,
To us God’s image now imparts;
分賜我們神的形像,
Conforming us unto the Son,
將它刻在我們心裏,
He stamps His image in our hearts.
就得模成愛子模樣。

4

This Spirit also is the pledge,
聖靈又是一個憑質,
Our earnest and our foretaste true.
做為我們擔保、豫嘗。
He witnesses that we are sons,
見證我們是神眾子,
With God’s inheritance in view.
神的基業我們得享。

5

’Tis by this Spirit God does spread
藉著這靈,神將自己,
Into our mind, emotion, will;
擴展到我心思、情、意;
By sealing every inward part,
裏面各部,受此印記,
He will our very being fill.
祂就充滿全人內裏。

6

Oh Lord, we would cooperate
哦主,我們願意和你
With all Thy Spirit’s inward move;
靈的運行配合、工作;
That we become Thy masterpiece,
為著達成永遠旨意,
Th’eternal purpose thus to prove.
好使我們成你傑作。
