Text Based On Ezekiel Chapter 3
He shall die in his iniquity;
but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Why Will Ye Die

O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die,
When God, in great mercy, is coming so nigh?
Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says, "Come!"
And others are waiting to welcome thee home.

How vain the delusion, that while ye delay
Thy hearts may grow better, thy chains melt away!
Come guilty, come wretched, come just as thou art;
All helpless and dying, to Jesus repair.

The contrite in heart he will freely receive,
O why will ye not the glad message believe?
If sin be thy burden, why will ye not come?
Tis ye He makes welcome, He bids thee come home.
