187. How Solemn Are the Words

1 How solemn are the words,
And yet to faith how plain,
Which Jesus utter'd 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 heav'n
'Tis only blood-wash'd ones are there--
The ransom'd and forgiv'n.
