Lyics

Sinners, turn-why will you die?
God, your Maker, asks you why:
God, who did your being give,
Made you with himself to live.


Sinners, turn-why will you die?
Christ, your Saviour, asks you why:
He, who did your souls retrieve,
He who died, that you might live.


Will you let him die in vain?
Crucify your Lord again?
Why-you ransom'd sinners-why
Will you slight his grace, and die?


Will you not his grace receive?
Will you still refuse to live?
Oh! you dying sinners, why-
Why will you for ever die?
