1 Sinners, turn; why will ye die?
God, your Maker, asks you why--
God, who did your being give,
Made you with Himself to live.
2 Sinners, turn; why will ye die?
God, your Saviour, asks you why--
He who did your souls retrieve,
He who died, that ye might live.
3 Will you let Him die in vain?
Crucify your Lord again?
Why, ye ransom'd sinners, why
Will you slight His grace, and die!
4 Sinners, turn; why will ye die?
God, the Spirit, asks you why--
He who all your lives hath strove,
Wooed you to embrace His love.
5 Will ye not His grace receive?
Will ye still refuse to live?
O ye dying sinners, why
Will ye grieve your God, and die!
