BENEVENTO Eight 7s.

S. WEBBE, 1792

God, your Mak-er, asks you why;

His own hands,

Why, ye thank-less crea-tures, why

Will ye cross His love, and die? A-men.

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 ransomed sinners, why
Will you slight His grace, and die?

3 Sinners, turn; why will ye die?
God, the Spirit, asks you why;
God, Who all your lives hath strove,
Wooed you to embrace His love:
Will you not the grace receive?
Will you still refuse to live?
Why, ye long-sought sinners, why
Will ye grieve your God, and die?

Rev. CHARLES WESLEY, 1741
