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 work 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 your souls retrieve, Died Himself, that ye might live; Will you let Him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransomed 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, 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 ye grieve your God, and die? Languages: English Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH
