Metaphor in Context
Lord, bear our Name upon thy Breast,
Engrave it on thy Heart,
There let it be so sure possest
It thence may ne're depart;
For Love we find is very strong,
It wounds unto the quick;
Thy presence, Lord, supports our Souls,
Thy absence makes us sick.
Engrave it on thy Heart,
There let it be so sure possest
It thence may ne're depart;
For Love we find is very strong,
It wounds unto the quick;
Thy presence, Lord, supports our Souls,
Thy absence makes us sick.
