Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #266 (2011) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal First Line: Sinners, turn: why will ye die? Lyrics: 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.
2 Sinners, turn: why will ye die?
God, your Savior, asks you why;
Will ye not in Him believe?
He has died that ye might live.
3 Will you let Him die in vain?
Crucify your Lord again?
Why, ye ransomed sinners, why
Will you slight His grace and die?
4 Sinners, turn: why will ye die?
God, the Spirit, asks you why;
Often with you has He strove,
Wooed you to embrace His love.
5 Will ye not His grace receive?
Will ye still refuse to live?
O ye dying sinners, why,
Why will you forever die?
