"On her heart the answer seal."
Metaphor in Context
While Thou dost her soul renew,
Quicken her frail body too,
While she hangs in even scale,
Let the prayer of faith prevail,
Present in Thy power to heal,
On her heart the answer seal.

Quicken her frail body too,
While she hangs in even scale,
Let the prayer of faith prevail,
Present in Thy power to heal,
On her heart the answer seal.
