Pure myrrh and cinnamon,
Calamus and cassia—
These are Thy elements,
Jesus my Lord!
In olive oil they’re blent
In wondrous measurement—
O what an ointment this,
Anointing us!
Four-in-one mingled,
Compounded Spirit,
Sweet with Christ’s suffering death,
Full of the fragrance
Of resurrection—
O what an ointment flows
In spirit, Lord!

Stacte and onycha,
Galbanum and frankincense—
These are Thy elements,
Jesus my Lord!
Stacte doth sons produce,
Onycha from sin doth loose,
Galbanum all death repels,
In spirit, Lord.
Equal proportion,
In resurrection;
Seasoned with salt are they.
Ground into powder fine,
Consumed with fire divine—
O what an incense this,
Jesus my Lord!

Ointment is Christ for us,
Exceeding glorious!
Incense is Christ for God,
Wholly for Him.
Ointment flows down to us,
Christ is our portion thus;
Incense ascends to God,
Fragrant to Him.
’Tis by th’ anointing
Christ we experience
And then the incense burn.
Christ in our prayer and praise—
O what a Christ we raise
From our experience,
Precious to God.

This ointment is God's economy in liquid form. God's plan was revealed since the first tabernacle in the time of Moses. The high priest was drenched in this anointing carrying this crucified and resurrected Christ mingled God with man in the all inclusive Spirit into the Holy of Holies. Today we have this Christ the all inclusive Spirit in our spirit not just the type but the reality, what a Christ have we!!!
Ex 30:23You also take the finest spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, two hundred fifty shekels, and of fragrant calamus two hundred fifty shekels,
Ex 30:24And of cassia five hundred shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
Ex 30:25And you shall make it a holy anointing oil, a fragrant ointment compounded according to the work of a compounder; it shall be a holy anointing oil.

What a wonderful God we have who just keeps giving and giving all He is and all He has to a people He so dearly loves and treasures!
Now whenever I sing this song my being is full of profound appreciation to the Lord for the progress of His divine revelation concerning His Spirit from typology to reality; and all the processes He went through to accomplish that. These incense are just a typology of the Compound all-inclusive life-giving Spirit we enjoy today.
My experience and enjoyment of the Compound Spirit is deeper, sweeter and higher after the revelation received during the recent Crystallisation Study of Exodus.
Let us praise and thank our God for the Ministry of the Age that opens up the word to us.

This hymn impressed in my heart from the winter training. I cannot believe I am full of tears when I sing it right now. Praise the Lord! I will never leave You. Strengthen me.

Praise the Lord! The compounded Spirit is anointing us! May our prayer and praise be real fragrance to God for His enjoyment!

What a "crystallized" hymn! While singing, it brings me into a richer understanding, deeper realization and application of the rich, blended, compound Spirit! May I experience this more and more!
