1.

Deny yourself! And life will be your portion.
Deny yourself! Become the bride of Christ.
Deny yourself! He’ll give you His salvation.
Deny yourself! Be clothed in garments white.

2.

Deny yourself in all your thoughts and actions.
Deny yourself when all against you goes.
Deny yourself, and you will surely triumph.
Deny yourself should you meet friends or foes.

3.

Deny yourself when Satan tries to threaten.
Deny yourself, and in God’s laws abide.
Trust God alone—then full of hope your future.
Deny yourself! Soon Christ will fetch His bride.
