Metaphor in Context
Did not her alms and prayers arise,
  Memorial sweet, before Thy throne?
Grateful, accepted sacrifice,
  They brought the gospel blessing down:
To one who Thee sincerely fear'd,
  Thou didst the Comforter impart:
The herald spake; the grace appear'd,
  And stamp'd salvation on her heart.
