[O might Thy powerful word]

The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, &c. —xi. 12.

O might Thy powerful word
Inspire a feeble worm
To rush into Thy kingdom, Lord,
And take it as by storm!
O might we all improve
The grace already given,
To seize the crown of perfect love,
And scale the mount of heaven!
