Lyrics

There is a quest­ion I’d like to ask of thee,
Thou who art Christ re­fus­ing;
What will thy fate at the judg­ment be,
With all thy sins against thee?

Refrain

How wilt thou stand at the judg­ment bar?
Judged by the Christ re­ject­ed?
You must ac­cept Him, for as you are,
O sin­ner, thy soul is lost.

Often has par­don been of­fered thee,
Yet thou dost spurn the plead­ings;
Eternal death must thy wag­es be,
If thou hast life re­ject­ed.

Refrain

Yet there is hope; wilt thou break away?
Simply be­lieve on Je­sus;
From death to life thou canst pass to­day,
Freed from sin’s con­dem­na­tion.
