WHY WILL YE DIE?

In the desert near to Edom, Underneath a scorching sun, In that nation bound for freedom, Is the work of death begun; Sinning Israel now are reaping Fruit of seed which they have sown; God withdraws his wondrous keeping; Israel dies when left alone.

But the Father's loving-kindness Has not left them, help is nigh— Speaks to Israel in their blindness, "Look and live; why will ye die?"

We are bitten, bruised, and weary, In this wilderness of sin, All disheartened, dying, dreary, Death without and sin within; But the Father's loving-kindness Lifts the Crucified on high, Pleads with sinners in soul-blindness, "Look and live; why will ye die?"
