Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #243 (1916) First Line: O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die Lyrics: 1 O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die,
When God in great mercy is coming so nigh, is coming so nigh?
Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says, "Come,"
And angels are waiting to welcome you home;
(And angels welcome you home;)
And angels are waiting to welcome you home.
(And angels welcome you home; O turn ye,)
O turn ye, O turn ye, O turn ye, O turn ye,
O turn ye, for why will ye die?
2 And now Christ is ready your souls to receive,
O how can you question, if you will believe, if you will believe?
If sin is your burden, why will you not come?
'Tis you He bids welcome, He bids you you come home;
('Tis you, He bids come home;)
'Tis you He bids welcome, He bids you you come home;
('Tis you, He bids come home; O turn ye,)
O turn ye, O turn ye, O turn ye, O turn ye,
O turn ye, for why will ye die?
3 Why will you be starving, why will you despair?
There's mercy in Jesus, enough and to spare, enough and to spare;
If still you are doubting, make trial and see,
And prove that His mercy is boundless and free (that His mercy,)
And prove that His mercy is boundless and free (boundless and free, O turn ye,)
O turn ye, O turn ye, O turn ye,
O turn ye, for why will ye die?
O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die?
