And the oblation
foretold the holy life
Which God could own
as all for His delight,
With every action
and every motive fine.
As every detail was
perfect in God's sight
Those who are God's
can similarly find
Enduring pleasure
despite surrounding strife.
The mingled oil
recalls what was divine -
God manifest as
holy love designed;
The anointing oil
recalls the Spirit's sign
That He had One on
whom He could abide;
And nothing there
exalts man or excites.
The fragrance all is
God's - the food is mine.
