Hymn 234
Sinners, turn why will ye die?
- Sinners, turn why will ye die?
God your maker, asks you why
God, who did your being give
M a d e you with Himself to live
He Ihe fatal cause d e m ands
Asks the work of His own hands
Why, ye thankless creatures, why
Will you cross His love, and die?
- Sinners, turn why will ye die?
God, your Saviour, asks you why
God who did your soul retrieve
Died Himself that ye might live
Will you let Him die in vain?
Crucify the Lord again
Why, ye ransom'd sinners, why
Will you slight His grace, and die?
- Sinners, turn why will ye die?
God the Spirit, asks you why
He who all your lives hath strove
Urged you to contend for heaven
Will you not His grace receive?
Will you still refuse to live?
Why, ye long sought sinners, why?
Will you grieve your God, and die?
- Can you doubt if God is love
If to all His yearnings move?
Will you not His word receive
Will you not His oath believe?
See, your dying Lord appears
Jesus weeps believe His tears
Mingled with His blood they cry
Why will you resolve to die?
