1 O turn ye, O turn ye; for why will ye die,
When God in great mercy is coming so nigh?
Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says, Come,
And angels are waiting to welcome you home.

2 And now Christ is ready your souls to receive;
Oh, how can you question when you may believe?
If sin is your burden, why will you not come?
'Tis you he bids welcome; he bids you come home.
