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