[Sinners, to God your Maker turn]
Testifying...repentance toward God, and, &c.
—xx. 21.
Sinners, to God your Maker turn,
To God your End; and deeply mourn
Your past ingratitude,
The sum of all our teaching this,
Break off your sins, from evil cease,
And follow after good.

Repent in heart, and word, and deed;
The power that doth from Christ proceed
By change of life express,
The correspondent actions do,
And proving your repentance true
Awake to righteousness.
The power that doth from Christ proceed
By change of life express,
The correspondent actions do,
And proving your repentance true
Awake to righteousness.
But rest not in the work begun,
Nor hope by works or tears to' atone,
And buy your peace with God:
In Jesus seek the living Way:
Jehovah did on Jesus lay
The universal load.
Nor hope by works or tears to' atone,
And buy your peace with God:
In Jesus seek the living Way:

Believe in God; believe in Him,
Who died the nations to redeem:
That you may live forgiven,
He tasted death for every soul:
Believe; and by His wounds made whole
From hell ascend to heaven.

By faith your sins effaced ye know:
By faith in Jesus' footsteps go,
And all His mind retrieve;
By faith arise for glory meet,
Yet still at your Redeemer's feet
As pardon'd sinners grieve.
By faith in Jesus' footsteps go,
And all His mind retrieve;
By faith arise for glory meet,
Yet still at your Redeemer's feet
As pardon'd sinners grieve.
Always as pardon'd sinners here
Live out your time in lowly fear,
Nor think repentance pass'd
Till all the work of faith is done,
Till all the Christian race is run,
And ye have breathed your last.
Live out your time in lowly fear,
Nor think repentance pass'd
Till all the work of faith is done,
Till all the Christian race is run,
And ye have breathed your last.
