Metaphor
"The holy, high, and lofty One / Shall make my heart His earthly throne"
Metaphor in Context
Beyond the bounds of space and time
On His eternal throne sublime,
Will God's most glorious majesty
Vouchsafe to cast a look on me?
Yes; if to me His grace impart
The humble, poor, and broken heart,
The holy, high, and lofty One
Shall make my heart His earthly throne.
On His eternal throne sublime,
Will God's most glorious majesty
Vouchsafe to cast a look on me?
Yes; if to me His grace impart
The humble, poor, and broken heart,
The holy, high, and lofty One
Shall make my heart His earthly throne.
