Verse 1
A Sign admir’d by thy redeem’d,
Precious to every faithful heart,
But contradicted and blasphem’d
By worldly infidels Thou art,
Who dare thy Deity deny,
And all thy heavenly truths decry.
Verse 2
The manger mean, and bleeding cross,
Thy birth, and passion they gainsay,
Thy maxims pure, and gracious laws,
And will not own thy righteous sway,
But plead for that old hellish liar,
And hardned in their sins expire.
Verse 3
Yet every tongue at last shall own,
And God the awful Judge declare,
When seated on thy righteous throne
Thou doom’st the wicked at thy bar,
Justly consign’d to their own place
Forever banish’d from thy face.
