[He that hath ears to hear]

He said unto them, Strive to enter in at, &c. —xiii. 23, 24.

He that hath ears to hear
Will fully understand
Thine answer, Lord, express and clear,
Contain'd in Thy command;

To that celestial port
In safety few arrive,
But multitudes who seek come short
Because they never strive.
Their indolence would shun
The agonizing pain,
Widen the way to bliss unknown,
And make the hill a plain;
As always in their power
The joys of heaven they dream,
And nothing find at death's sad hour
But hell reserved for them.
