Sinners, Turn, Why Will Ye Die'

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 you 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 you grieve your God, and die'

4 Dead, already dead within,
Spiritually dead in sin,
Dead to God while here you breathe,
Pant ye after second death'
Will you still in sin remain,
Greedy of eternal pain'
O ye dying sinners, why,
Why will you for ever die'
