Verse 1
Ignorance in which ye dwell
Excusable had been,
Were it quite invincible
It is not wilful sin:
But your knowledge ye assert,
And cast your helps and means aside;
Hence the veil is on your heart,
And all your faith is pride.
Verse 2
Would you own with humble grief
Your want of light and love,
Christ would help your unbelief,
And all your guilt remove:
But with arrogant disdain
Your blindness if ye still deny,
Infidels ye must remain,
Till in your sins ye die.
