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 you cross His love, and die?

Sinners, turn why will ye die? God, your Saviour, asks you why God who did your soul retrieve Died Himself that ye might live Will you let Him die in vain? Crucify the Lord again Why, ye ransom'd sinners, Why Will you slight His grace, and die?

Sinners, turn why will ye die? God the Spirit, asks you why He who all your lives hath strove Urged you to contend for heaven 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?

Can you doubt if God is love If to all His yearnings move? Will you not His word receive will not His oath believe? See, your dying Lord appears Jesus weeps believe His tears Mingled with His blood they cry Why will you resolve to die?
