EXHORTING SINNERS

40 let me commend My Saviour to you; The Publican's Friend, And Advocate too: For you he is pleading His merits and death; With God interceding For sinners beneath.

5 Then let us submit His grace to receive; Fall down at his feet, And gladly believe: We all are forgiven, For Jesus's sake: Our title to heaven, His merits we take.

HYMN 6.

7's.

SINNERS, turn, why will ye die?

God, your Maker, asks you why: God, who did your being give, Made you with himself to live; He the fatal cause demands, Asks the work of his own hands, Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will ye cross his love, and die?

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 ransom'd sinners, why Will you slight his grace, and die?

3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, the Spirit, asks you why: He who all your lives hath strove, Woo'd you to embrace his love: Will you not his grace receive? Will you still refuse to live? Why, ye long- sought sinners, why Will you grieve your God, and die?
