Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #330 (1917) Lyrics: 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;
He the fatal cause demands,
Asks the work of His own hands,
Why, ye thankless creatures, why,
Will ye cross His love, and die?
2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, your Saviour, asks you why:
God, who did your souls retrieve,
Died Himself, that ye might live;
Will you let Him die in vain?
Crucify your Lord again?
Why, ye ransomed sinners, why
Will ye slight His grace, and die?
3 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;
Will you not His grace receive?
Will you still refuse to live?
Why, ye long-sought sinners, why
Will ye grieve your God, and die? Topics: Holy Spirit Striving; Holy Spirit Striving; Gospel Freeness of ; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism; Sinners Exhorted; Repentance; Redemption Languages: English Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH
