"Come, and 'stablish in my heart / Thine everlasting throne."
Metaphor in Context
David waxed stronger and stronger, &c.
--iii. 1.
Let the house of Saul give place,
And David grow in power,
Nature yield, and stronger grace
Wax stronger every hour,
Grace prevail, till sin depart:
Come, Lord, and rule the land alone,
Come, and 'stablish in my heart
Thine everlasting throne.
(vol. I, p. 157)
