SEEK! my soul, the narrow gate,
Enter, ere it be too late;
Many ask to enter there,
When too late to offer prayer.
God from mercy's seat shall rise,
And for ever bar the skies:
Then, though sinners cry without,
"I know you not," comes forth the shout.
—He will say, "I know you not."
Mournfully will they exclaim—
Lord, we have professed thy name;
We have ate with thee, and heard
Heavenly teaching in thy word,
Vain, alas! will be their plea,
Workers of iniquity;
Sad their everlasting lot—
Christ will say "I know you not."
