IV. Sinners, turn, why will ye die?

Full Text

1 Sinners! turn, why will ye die?
God, your Maker, asks you why?
God, who did your being give,
Made you with himself to live:
He the fatal cause demands,
Asks the works of his own hands;
Why, ye thankless creatures, why
Will ye cross his love and die?

2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, your Saviour, asks you why?
God, who did our souls retrive,
Dy'd himself, that you might live,
Will you let him die in vain?
Crucify your Lord again?
Why, ye ransom'd sinners, why
Will ye 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,
Woo'd you to embrace his love;
Will you not the grace receive?
Will you still refuse to live?
Why, ye long-sought sinners, why
Will you grieve your God, and die?

4 Dead, already dead within,
Spiritually dead in sin,
Dead to God, while here you breathe,
Pant ye after second death?
Will you still in sin remain,
Greedy of eternal pain?
O ye dying sinners, why,
Why will you for ever die?
