7.7.7.7 with Alleluias Tunes1.
Sinners, turn; why will ye die?
God, your master, 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?
2.
Sinners, turn why will ye die?
God, your Saviour asks you why
God, who did your souls retrieve
Died Himself, that you might live
Will you let Him die in vain?
Crucify your 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 you why
He who all your lives hath strove
Wooed you to embrace His love
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?
4.
Can you doubt if God is love
If to all His yearnings move?
Will you not His word receieve
Will you 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?”
Amen
