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 ransom'd sinners, why Will ye slight his grace, and die? 3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, the Spirit, asks you why? Why, you long-sought sinners, why you grieve your GoD, and die? |
