7 Look unto him, ye nations; own
Your God, ye fallen race;

Look, and be sav'd through faith alone,
Be justified by grace.

8 See all your sins on Jesus laid:
The LAMB of GOD was slain,

His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man.

9 Awake from guilty nature's sleep,
And Christ shall give you light:
Cast all your sins into the deep,
And wash the Ethiop white.
10 With me, by faith, ye then shall know,
Shall feel your sins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.

[blocks in formation]

COME, sinners, to the gospel-feast;

Let every soul be Jesu's guest,
Ye need not one be left behind;
For God hath bidden all mankind.

2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call;
The invitation is to ALL:

Come, all the world; come, sinner,
thou,

All things in Christ are ready now.

3 Come, all ye souls by sin opprest,
Ye restless wanderers after rest;
Ye poor, and maim'd, and halt, and
blind,

In Christ a hearty welcome find. 4 Come, and partake the gospel-feast; Be sav'd from sin, in Jesus rest: O taste the goodness of your God, deat his flesh, and drink his blood

5 Ye vagrant souls, on you I call'; (0 that my voice could reach you all!) Ye all may now be justified;

Ye all may live; for Christ hath died. 6 My message as from God receive; Ye all may come to Christ and live: O let his love your hearts constrain, Nor suffer him to die in vain. 7 His love is mighty to compel;

His conquering love consent to feel! Yield to his love's resistless power; And fight against your God no more. 8 See him set forth before your eyes, That precious, bleeding Sacrifice! His offer'd benefits embrace,

And freely now be ṣav'd by grace!
This is the time, no more delay;
This is the acceptable day:

Come in, this moment, at his call,
And live for him, who died for all.

[8 lines 7's.]

FIRST PART.

SINNERS, turn, why will ye die? 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 ransom'd 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,
Woo'd you to embrace his lovet
Will ye not his grace receive?
Will ye still refuse to live?

Why, you long-sought sinners, why

you grieve your GoD, and die?
