Metaphor
"Stamp Thy whole image on my breast,"
Metaphor in Context
Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which, &c.
--xii. 9.
By nature, Lord, I evil love;
Thou by the virtue of Thy grace
The dire propensity remove,
The heart that hates Thy righteous ways:
Stamp Thy whole image on my breast,
And partner of Thy purity,
Sin I shall perfectly detest,
And cleave with all my soul to Thee.

And cleave with all my soul to Thee.
