"And let our souls the kiss receive / Which seals our inward peace."
Metaphor in Context
Now, Father, now our sins forgive,
With present pardon bless,
And let our souls the kiss receive
Which seals our inward peace;
Accept us in Thine own dear Son,
Who bore our sins away,
Who all our debts discharged alone,
And left us nought to pay.
With present pardon bless,
And let our souls the kiss receive
Which seals our inward peace;
Accept us in Thine own dear Son,
Who bore our sins away,
Who all our debts discharged alone,
And left us nought to pay.
