AN
Verse 1
How solemn are the words,
And yet to faith how plain,
Which Jesus uttered while on earth--
“Ye must be born again!”
Verse 2
“Ye must be born again!”
For so hath God decreed;
No reformation will suffice--
’Tis life poor sinners need.
Verse 3
“Ye must be born again!”
And life in Christ must have;
In vain the soul may elsewhere go--
’Tis he alone can save.
Verse 4
“Ye must be born again!”
Or never enter heaven;
’Tis only blood-washed ones are there--
The ransomed and forgiven.
