"And tell our hearts the thing shall be, / And seal it on our conscience now!"
Metaphor in Context
Jesus, our injured king incline
  His foes to pity and forgive,
And turn their hearts by grace Divine,
  And bid them for Thy glory live:
Obedient to their king and Thee,
  Let all the loyal nation bow:
And tell our hearts the thing shall be,
  And seal it on our conscience now!
