Dost thou deny the Virgin Birth?
Wouldst thou bring Jesus down to earth?
Dost thou deny He is Divine,
Saviour, Redeemer, Hope of thine?

Wilt thou deny when thou shalt meet
And face Him on His Judgment Seat?
Wilt thou stand boldly forth and say
What thou dost claim to believe today;

Or wilt thou hang thy head in shame,
Not even dare to breathe His name?
When shall have passed thy day of grace,
Wilt thou look up into His Face?

Wilt thou then claim by Right Divine
Freedom of thought and speech was thine?
And if by Satan led astray
The Spirit did not light the way;

That while old Satan did deceive
'Twas others taught thee what to believe?
Or else perhaps, thou wilt not speak
When thou shalt face Christ's Judgment Seat.
