Hymn 260 – SINNERS, turn why will ye die? | C&S English Hymnary

1. SINNERS, turn why will ye die? God your maker, ask thee why God, who did thy being give Make thee with himself to live He the fatal cause demands, Ask the work of His own hands Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will thou cross His love, and die? 2. Sinners turn why will ye die God thy Saviour, asks thee why God who did thy Souls retrieve, Died Himself that ye might live, Will ye let Him die in vain, Crucify the Lord Again? Why ye ransom’d sinners? why Will you slight His grace, and die? 3. Sinners turn why will ye die? God, the Spirit; asks thee why He who all thy lives hath striven Urged thee to contend for heaven Will you not His Grace receive, Will you still refuse to live Why’ye long‐ sought sinners why, Will thou grieve thy God and die? 4. Can you doubt if God is love If to all His yearnings move? Will ye not his word receive Will ye not His oath believe? See, your dying Lord appears Jesus weeps believe his tears Mingled with His blood they cry, Why will ye resolve to die? AMEN
