Justice doomed thy soul to die, Jesus heard the helpless cry, Bows His head, In thy stead, Dies, He dies for thee. Chorus: Oh, shall it be for nought? His dying love unsought! Turn today, Turn today, Turn, o turn, be free. 2 Look, O sinner, look again, See our Saviour rising; Hast’ning to His Father’s throne, There to intercede. Death could bind our Lord in vain, Love for thee would burst the chain; Wondrous love! Boundless love! Love for thee to plead. [Chorus] 3 Turn, O sinner, turn and hear, ‘Tis the Spirit calling; Turn and hear the still, small voice, Pleading now for thee. Telling thee of love divine, Pleading that it may be thine, Thine today, Thine alway, Thine forever be.
