"The promise and the prayer is seal'd, / Seal'd on her heart in gospel-peace."
Metaphor in Context
Touch'd by the healing hand Divine,
She lives, she lives to praise her Lord:
Jesus, the work and praise be Thine,
Thy name be bless'd, revered, adored!
Thou hast Thy gracious word fulfill'd,
And saved her in her last distress;
The promise and the prayer is seal'd,
Seal'd on her heart in gospel-peace.
(VII, p. 68; p. 60 in 1767 ed.)
