110. Oh, Turn Now! Oh, Turn Now! For Why Will You Die

11s.
1
Oh, turn now! Oh, turn now! For why will you 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.
 
Come while you may! Come while you may!
 
Take God’s free salvation, ’tis offered today!
2
How vain the delusion, that while you delay
 
Your hearts may grow better by staying away;
 
Come wretched, come starving, come, happy to be,
 
While streams of salvation are flowing so free.
3
Oh, how can we leave you? Why will you not come?
 
’Tis Jesus entreats you, He bids you come home;
 
Oh, turn now! Oh, turn now! For why will you die,
 
When God, in great mercy, is coming so nigh?
