"Our pardon infallibly seal, / And heaven implant in our heart."
Metaphor in Context
Invited and urged to draw nigh,
We trust in a merciful God,
To Thee, the Physician, apply,
And wait for a drop of Thy blood:
Thy blood can all sicknesses heal;
Its virtue, O Jesus, impart,
Our pardon infallibly seal,
And heaven implant in our heart.

To Thee, the Physician, apply,
And wait for a drop of Thy blood:
Thy blood can all sicknesses heal;
Its virtue, O Jesus, impart,
Our pardon infallibly seal,
And heaven implant in our heart.
