What could your Redeemer do

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Ezekiel 18:30-31

Verse 1

What could your Redeemer do More than he hath done for you? To procure your peace with God, Could he more than shed his blood?

Verse 2

After all his flow of love, All his drawings from above, Why will ye your Lord deny? Why will ye resolve to die?

Verse 3

Turn, he cries, ye sinners turn: By his life your God hath sworn; He would have you turn and live, He would all the world receive:

Verse 4

If your death were his delight, Would he you to life invite? Would he ask, beseech, and cry, Why will ye resolve to die?

Verse 5

Sinners, turn, while God is near! Dare not think him insincere: Now, e'en now, your Savior stands, All day long he spreads his hands!

Verse 6

Can ye doubt if God is love? If to all his bowels move? Will ye not his word receive? Will ye not his oath believe?

Verse 7

See, the suff'ring God appears, Jesus weeps, believe his tears! Mingled with his blood, they cry, "Why will ye resolve to die?"
