Metaphor
"On my heart Thy goodness seal"
Metaphor in Context
The Lord is good unto them that wait, &c.
--iii. 25.
Thee I seek, my pardoning Lord,
Waits my longing soul for Thee:
O be mindful of Thy word,
O be merciful to me,
On my heart Thy goodness seal,
Bid me in Thine image rise,
Mounted on Thy holy hill,
Ravish'd thence to paradise.
