"And sure forgiveness sealest / On all our waiting hearts."
Metaphor in Context
Father, till Thou revealest
Truth in our inward parts,
And sure forgiveness sealest
On all our waiting hearts,
Us by Thy fear o'erawing
From evil far remove,
And let us feel Thee drawing
Our hearts with cords of love.
Truth in our inward parts,
And sure forgiveness sealest
On all our waiting hearts,
Us by Thy fear o'erawing
From evil far remove,
And let us feel Thee drawing
Our hearts with cords of love.
