Hymnal: The Gospel Awakening #13 (1888) First Line: Oh, turn ye, oh, turn ye for why will ye die Lyrics: 1. Oh, turn ye, oh, turn ye for why will ye die,
When God in great mercy is coming so nigh?
Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says "Come,"
While angels are waiting to welcome you home.
Come, come, come, oh, come,
While angels are waiting to welcome you home.
2. How vain the delusion, that while you delay,
Your hearts may grow better, your chains melt away;
Come guilty, come wretched, come just as you are
All helpless and dying, to Jesus repair.
3. The contrite in heart He will freely receive,
Oh! why will you not the glad message believe?
If sin be your burden, why will you not come?
'Tis you He makes welcome; He bids you come home. Tune Title: [Oh, turn ye, oh, turn ye for why will ye die]
Oh, Turn Ye
