By his life your God hath sworn

He would have you turn and live,

He would all the world receive:

If your death were his delight,

Would he thus to life invite?

Would he ask, beseech and cry,

Why will you resolve to die?

3 Sinners, turn, while God is near!

He has left you naught to fear;

Now, e’en now, your Saviour stands,
