Author: Albert Midlane, 1825-1909 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #230 (1972) Hymnal Title: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 Lyrics: 1 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 heav'n;
'Tis only blood-washed ones are there,
The ransomed and forgiv'n. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Salvation New Birth, Regeneration Scripture: 1 Peter 1:23 Languages: English Tune Title: BOYLSTON
How Solemn Are the Words
