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