Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ cleansing from Sin First Line: 'Twas for my Sake, eternal GOD Lyrics: 1 'Twas for my Sake, eternal GOD, Thy Son sustain'd that heavy Load Of base Reproach and sore Disgrace, And Shame defil'd his sacred Face. 2 The Jews, his Brethren and his Kin, Abus'd the Man that check'd their Sin; While he fulfill'd thy holy Laws That hate him, but without a Cause. 3 [My Father's House, said he, was made, A Place for Worship, not for Trade; Then scatt'ring all their gold and Brass, He scourg'd the Merchants from the Place.] 4 [Zeal for the Temple of his GOD, Consum'd his Life, expos'd his Blood; Reproaches at thy Glory thrown He felt, and mourn'd 'em as his own.] 5 [His Friends forsook, his Followers fled, While Foes and Arms surround his Head; They curse him with a slad'rous Tongue, And the false Judge maintains the Wrong.] 6 His Life they load with hateful Lies, And charge his Lips with Blasphemies; They nail him to the shameful Tree; There hung the Man that dy'd for me. 7 [Wretches, with Hearts as hard as Stones, Insult his Piety and Groans; Gall was the Food they gave him there, And mock'd his Thirst with Vinegar.] 8 But GOD behold; and from his Throne Marks out the Men that hate his Son; The Hand that rais'd him from the Dead, Shall pour the Vengeance on their Head.

Sinners, Turn: Why Will You Die

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 541 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Blood Lyrics: Sinners, turn: why will you die? God, your Maker, asks you why. God, who did your being give, made you himself, that you might live; he the fatal cause demands, asks the work of his own hands. Why, you thankless creatures, why will you cross his love, and die? Sinners, turn: why will you die? God, your Savior, asks you why. God, who did your souls retrieve, died himself, that you might live. Will you let him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, you ransomed sinners, why will you slight his grace and die? Sinners, turn: why will you 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, you long-sought sinners, why, will you grieve your God, and die? You, on whom he favors showers, you, possessed of nobler powers, you, of reason’s powers possessed, you, with will and memory blest, you, with finer sense endued, creatures capable of God; noblest of his creatures, why will you forever die? You, whom he ordained to be transcripts of the Trinity, you, whom he in life doth hold, you for whom himself was sold, you, on whom he still doth wait, whom he would again create; made by him, and purchased, why, why will you forever die? You, who own his record true, you, his chosen people, you, you, who call the Savior Lord, you, who read his written Word, you, who see the gospel light, claim a crown in Jesu’s right; why will you, ye Christians, why will the house of Israel die? Turn, he cries, ye sinners turn; by his life your God hath sworn; he would have you turn and live, he would all the world receive; he hath brought to all the race full salvation by his grace; he hath not one soul passed by; why will you resolve to die? Can ye doubt, if God is love, if to all his mercies move? Will ye not his word receive? Will ye not his oath believe? See, the suffering God appears! Jesus weeps! Believe his tears! Mingled with his blood they cry, why will you resolve to die? Scripture: Ezekiel 18:31-32
