Today, if you will hear His voice,
Now is the time to make your choice;
Say will you to mount Zion go?
Say will you have this Christ or no?
Oh! turn, sinner, turn,
May the Lord help you turn!
Oh! turn, sinner turn,
Why will you die?
Ye wand'ring souls, who find no rest.
Say, will you be for ever blest?
Will you be sav'd from sin and hell?
Will you with Christ in glory dwell?
Oh! turn, sinner, turn,
May the Lord help you turn!
Oh! turn, sinner turn,
Why will you die?
Come now, dear youth, for ruin bound,
Obey the gospel's joyful sound;
Come, go with us, and you shall prove
The joy of Christ's redeeming love.
Oh! turn, sinner, turn,
May the Lord help you turn!
Oh! turn, sinner turn,
Why will you die?
Once more we ask you in his name—
For yet his love remains the same—
Say, will you to Mount Zion go?
Say, will you have this Christ, or no?
Oh! turn, sinner, turn,
May the Lord help you turn!
Oh! turn, sinner turn,
Why will you die?
Leave all your sports and glittering toys,
Come share with us eternal joys;
Or must we leave you bound to hell—
Then, dear young friends, along farewell.
Oh! turn, sinner, turn,
May the Lord help you turn!
Oh! turn, sinner turn,
Why will you die?
