How solemn are the words,
And yet to faith how plain,
Which Jesus uttered while on earth—
“Ye must be born again! "
“Ye must be born again! "
For so hath God decreed;
No reformation will suffice —
'Tis life poor sinners need.
“Ye must be born again! "
And life in Christ must have;
In vain the soul may elsewhere go —
'Tis He alone can save.
“Ye must be born again I”
Or never enter heaven;
'Tis only blood-washed ones are there —
The ransomed and forgiven.
