1 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?

Judged by the Christ rejected?
You must accept Him, for as you are,
O sinner, thy soul is lost.
2 Often has pardon been offered thee,
Yet thou dost spurn the pleadings;
Eternal death must thy wages be,
If thou hast life rejected. [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain]
