Set me as a seal upon thine heart
Thou love more strong than death
That I may feel through every part
Thy burning, fiery breath.
And then like wax held in thy flame,
May take the imprint of thy name.
Set me a seal upon thine arm,
Thou love that bursts the grave,
Thy coals of fire can never harm,
But only purge and save.
Thou jealous love, thou burning flame,
oh, burn out all unlike thy name.
The floods can never drown thy love,
Nor weaken thy desire,
The rains may deluge from above
But never quench thy fire.
Make soft my heart in thy strong flame,
To take the imprint of thy name.
Cant. 8:6
