Obstinate Opinion

"And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow Him.... And the people answered him not a word" (1 Kings 18:21). "If I (Jesus) had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both Me and My Father" (John 15:24).

How long shall Jesus Christ's dominion
Be foolishly denied?
How long shall ignorant opinion
Be vainly magnified?

How long shall sinners thus ignore
The deeds of God the Son?
For never were there works before
Nor after like His done.

How long indeed shall sinners halt
To waste another day?
Alas! It shall be their own fault
When time sweeps them away.
