What could your Redeemer do <br />More than he hath done for you? <br />To procure your peace with God, <br />Could he more than shed his blood? <br />After all his waste of love, <br />All his drawings from above, <br />Why will you your Lord deny? <br />Why will you resolve to die? <br /> <br />Turn, he cries, ye sinners, turn; <br />By his life your God hath sworn, <br />He would have you turn and live, <br />He would all the world receive. <br />If your death were his delight, <br />Would he you to life invite? <br />Would he ask, obtest, and cry, <br />Why will you resolve to die? <br /> <br />Sinners, turn, while God is near: <br />Dare not think him insincere: <br />Now, even now, your Saviour stands, <br />All day long he spreads his hands, <br />Cries, Ye will not happy be! <br />No, ye will not come to me! <br />Me, who life to none deny: <br />Why will you resolve to die? <br /> <br />Can you doubt if God is love? <br />If to all His bowels move? <br />Will you not his word receive? <br />Will you not his OATH believe? <br />See! the suffering God appears! <br />Jesus weeps! believe his tears! <br />Mingled with his blood, they cry, <br />Why will you resolve to die?<br /><br />John Wesley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-viii-what-could-your-redeemer-do/
