Oh, Turn Ye
Appears in 393 hymnals First Line: Oh, turn ye, oh, turn ye for why will ye die Lyrics: 1. Oh, turn ye, oh, turn ye for why will ye die,
When God in great mercy is coming so nigh?
Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says "Come,"
While angels are waiting to welcome you home.
Come, come, come, oh, come,
While angels are waiting to welcome you home.
2. How vain the delusion, that while you delay,
Your hearts may grow better, your chains melt away;
Come guilty, come wretched, come just as you are
All helpless and dying, to Jesus repair.

Oh! why will you not the glad message believe?
If sin be your burden, why will you not come?

O Turn Ye
Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #243 (1916) First Line: O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die Lyrics: 1 O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die,
When God in great mercy is coming so nigh, is coming so nigh?
Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says, "Come,"
And angels are waiting to welcome you home;
(And angels welcome you home;)
And angels are waiting to welcome you home.
(And angels welcome you home; O turn ye,)
O turn ye, O turn ye, O turn ye, O turn ye,
O turn ye, for why will ye die?
2 And now Christ is ready your souls to receive,
O how can you question, if you will believe, if you will believe?
If sin is your burden, why will you not come?
'Tis you He bids welcome, He bids you you come home;
('Tis you, He bids come home;)
'Tis you He bids welcome, He bids you you come home;
('Tis you, He bids come home; O turn ye,)
O turn ye, O turn ye, O turn ye, O turn ye,
O turn ye, for why will ye die?
3 Why will you be starving, why will you despair?
There's mercy in Jesus, enough and to spare, enough and to spare;
If still you are doubting, make trial and see,
And prove that His mercy is boundless and free (that His mercy,)
And prove that His mercy is boundless and free (boundless and free, O turn ye,)
O turn ye, O turn ye, O turn ye,
O turn ye, for why will ye die?
O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die?

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Singing by the Way (Rev. ed.) #15 (1897) First Line: O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die Lyrics: 1 O, turn ye, O, turn ye, for why will ye die,
When God in great mercy is coming so nigh?
Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says "Come!"
And angels are waiting to welcome you home;
And angels are waiting to welcome you home.
2 And now Christ is ready your souls to receive,
O! how can you question, if you will believe?
If sin is your burden, why will you not come?
'Tis you He bids welcome, He bids you you come home;
'Tis you He bids welcome, He bids you you come home.
3 How vain the delusion, that, while you delay,
Your hearts may grow better by staying away;
Come wretched, come starving, come just as you be,
While streams of salvation are flowing so free;
While streams of salvation are flowing so free.
4 Why will you be starving, and feeding on air?
There's mercy in Jesus, enough and to spare;
If still you are doubting, make trial and see,
And prove that His mercy is boundless and free;
And prove that His mercy is boundless and free.
5 Come, give us your hand, and the Saviour your heart,
And starting for glory, we never shall part;
O! how can e leave you? why will you not come?
We'll journey together, and soon be at home;
We'll journey together, and soon be at home. Languages: English Tune Title: [O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die]

O Turn Ye, for Why Will You Die?
Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "O turn ye, O turn ye; for why will ye die" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
