Metaphor in Context
Tell him--you feel your pardon seal'd,
With strongest confidence assert
The secret of the Lord reveal'd,
The image stamp'd upon your heart;
He hears unmoved, and waits to see
The fruit, and then discern the tree.
With strongest confidence assert
The secret of the Lord reveal'd,
The image stamp'd upon your heart;
He hears unmoved, and waits to see
The fruit, and then discern the tree.
