LyicsSinners, 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?
O! you dying sinners, why --
Why will you for ever die?
