Set Me as a Seal

Music by Doug Howell, lyrics by Hannah Hurnard (based on The Song of Solomon)

set me as a seal upon thy heart
thou, love, more strong than death
that I may feel through every part
thy burning, fiery breath
and then like wax held in the flame
may take the imprint of thy name

set me as 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

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
