213. Ye Must Be Born Again

1 If ye would enter the kingdom of God,
Ye must be born again;
Jesus this truth has declared in his Word,
Ye must be born again.

Refrain:
Ye must be born again,
Ye must be born again;
If ye would enter the kingdom of God,
Ye must be born again.

2 Fashioned anew by the life-giving Word,
Ye must be born again;
Into the likeness of Jesus the Lord,
Ye must be born again. [Refrain]

3 Riches and honor will never avail,
Ye must be born again;
Trust in his power that never can fail,
Ye must be born again. [Refrain]

4 Self-righteous rags will not satisfy God,
Ye must be born again;
Sin must go under the soul-cleansing flood,
Ye must be born again. [Refrain]

5 Soon Christ will come to deliver his own,
Ye must be born again;
Join with the ransomed around the white throne,
Ye must be born again. [Refrain]
