Matthew 23:12: Myself I cannot humble make

Myself I cannot humble make,
Yet may I, Lord, the succour take
Proffer'd, implied, in Thy command;
May lay my hatighty looks aside.
Resist the thought engendering pride,
And stoop beneath Thy mighty hand:

If to Thy hand of power I stoop,
Thy hand of love shall lift me up
To heights of holiness unknown,
Thy love's omnipotence shall raise
The vessel of Thy perfect grace,
And seat me on Thy azure throne.
