HYMN 105.
[O set thine Image on my Heart]
Cant. 8. 6. Love is strong as Death, Jealousie as cruel as the Grave, the Coals thereof are as Coals of Fire, &c.
[The First Part.]
O set thine Image on my Heart!
O seal it on my Arm!
For Love, like Death, doth cast its Dart,
And Jealousie is warm.
O seal it on my Arm!
For Love, like Death, doth cast its Dart,
And Jealousie is warm.
'Tis like the Grave, whose keen desire
Nothing can satisfie;
The Coals thereof ate Coals of Fire
That flame most vehemently.
Nothing can satisfie;
The Coals thereof ate Coals of Fire
That flame most vehemently.
Waters can't quench Love's Flames, nor Floods
The same can ever drown;
If some for Love would give his Goods,
Despis'd is such an one.
The same can ever drown;
If some for Love would give his Goods,
Despis'd is such an one.
Lord, bear our Name upon thy Breast,
Engrave it on thy Heart,
There let it be so sure possest
It thence may ne're depart;
Engrave it on thy Heart,
There let it be so sure possest
It thence may ne're depart;
For Love we find is very strong,
It wounds unto the quick;
Thy presence, Lord, supports our Souls,
Thy absence makes us sick.
It wounds unto the quick;
Thy presence, Lord, supports our Souls,
Thy absence makes us sick.
257
Shouldst thou but seemingly disdain
Our Souls that are engag'd,
Like Fire it would put us to pain,
Whose grief's not soon asswag'd.
Our Souls that are engag'd,
Like Fire it would put us to pain,
Whose grief's not soon asswag'd.
The Second Part.
O love us then, or else we die;
Is it not thee we crave?
If thou thy Love shouldst once deny,
We soon should find a Grave.
Is it not thee we crave?
If thou thy Love shouldst once deny,
We soon should find a Grave.
Death conquers all, and all submit
Unto his pale command;
So Love brings all unto its feet
Who are therewith inflam'd.
Unto his pale command;
So Love brings all unto its feet
Who are therewith inflam'd.
The Grave is never satisfy'd,
No more, alas, can he
Who having tasted of thy Love,
Till he enjoyeth thee.
No more, alas, can he
Who having tasted of thy Love,
Till he enjoyeth thee.
But Death destroys and also kills,
But Love doth make alive;
It kills our sin, and we thereby
Do presently revive:
But Love doth make alive;
It kills our sin, and we thereby
Do presently revive:
But if the Object be deny'd
The Heart is set upon,
We never can be satisfy'd
Until our life is gone.
The Heart is set upon,
We never can be satisfy'd
Until our life is gone.
258
Love so doth flame, and Jealousie
So burns the Heart and Eyes;
The Soul must be embrac'd by thee,
Or be Love's Sacrifice.
So burns the Heart and Eyes;
The Soul must be embrac'd by thee,
Or be Love's Sacrifice.
Whole Seas of trouble cannot quench
Love's everlasting flame;
Let what will come where true Love is,
That Soul is still the same.
Love's everlasting flame;
Let what will come where true Love is,
That Soul is still the same.
