"The seal is secure, / And keeps my heart pure"
Metaphor in Context
  What tongue cannot tell
  In believing I feel,
The pledge and the witness; but where is the seal?

  The seal is secure,
  And keeps my heart pure:

This, this is the proof I shall always endure.

  For this do I call
  On my Jesus, my All:
O tell me by love that I never shall fall;
