O Let My Name Engraven Stand

O let my name engraven stand
Both on thy heart and on thy hand;
Seal me upon thine arm, and wear
That pledge of love forever there.

Stronger than death thy love is known,
Which floods of wrath could n evere drown;
And hell and earth in vain combine
To quench a fire so much divine.

Come, my Beloved, haste away,
Cut short the hours of thy delay;
Fly like a youthful hart or roe
Over the hills where spices grow.

Isaac Watts, 1709
