Sinners, turn, why will ye die? <br />God, your Maker, asks you why? <br />God, who did your being give, <br />Made you with himself to live - <br />He the fatal cause demands, <br />Asks the work of his own hands, <br />Why, ye thankless creatures, why <br />Will ye cross his love, and die? <br /> <br />Sinners, turn, why will ye die? <br />God, your Saviour, asks you why? <br />God, who did your souls retrieve, <br />Died himself, that ye might live; <br />Will you let him die in vain? <br />Crucify your Lord again? <br />Why, ye ransomed sinners, why <br />Will you slight his grace, and die? <br /> <br />Sinners, turn, why will ye die? <br />God, the Spirit, asks you why? <br />He who all your lives hath strove, <br />Wooed you to embrace his love: <br />Will you not his grace receive? <br />Will you still refuse to live? <br />Why, ye long-sought sinners, why <br />Will you grieve your God, and die? <br /> <br />Dead, already dead within, <br />Spiritually dead in sin, <br />Dead to God while here you breathe, <br />Pant ye after second death? <br />Will you still in sin remain, <br />Greedy of eternal pain? <br />O ye dying sinners, why, <br />Why will you for ever die?<br /><br />John Wesley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-vi-sinners-turn-why-will-ye-die/
