3 Sinners, turn, while God is near : Dare not think him insincere : Now, even now, your Saviour stands All day long he spreads his hands ; Cries, " Ye will not happy be ! No, ye will not come to me ! Me, who life to none deny : Why will you resolve to die?" 4 Can you doubt if God is Love ? If to all his bowels move ? Exhorting Shiners to return to God. lO Will you not his IVord receive ? Will you not his Oath believe ? See ! the suffering God appears ! Jesus weeps ; believe his tears ! Mingled with his blood, they cry, " Why will you resolve to die ?" HYMN 9. l. m. 1 OINNERS, obey the gospel word ; ^ Haste to the Supper of my Lord ; Be wise to know your gracious day ; All things are ready, come away ! 2 Ready the Father is to own And kiss his late-returning son: Ready your loving Saviour stands, And spreads for you his bleeding hands. 3 Ready the Spirit of his Love, Just now the stony to remove ; To' apply and witness with the blood, And wash and seal the sons of God. 4 Ready for you the angels wait, To triumph in your blest estate : Tuning their harps, they long to praise The wonders of redeeming grace. 5 The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Is ready, with their shining host : All heaven is ready to resound, " The dead's alive ! the lost is found V* 6 Come, then, ye sinners, to your Lord, In Christ to paradise restored ; His proffer'd benefits embrace, The plenitude of gospel grace : 7 A pardon written with his blood, The favour and the peace of God ; 1 O E / horttng Sinners to return to God. The seeing eye, the feeling sense, The mystic joys of penitence : tS The godly grief, the pleasing smart The meltings of a broken heart ; The tears that tell your sins forgiven, The sighs that waft your souls to heaven : 9 The guiltless shame, the sweet distress ; The' unutterable tenderness ; The genuine, meek humility ; The wonder, " Why such love to me !
