Sinners, this solemn truth regard,
Hear, all ye sons of men;
For Christ, the Savior, hath declared,
"Ye must be born again."
Whate'er might be your birth or blood,
The sinner's boast is vain;
Thus saith the glorious Son of God,
"Ye must be born again."
Our nature's totally depraved—
The heart a sink of sin;
Without a change we can't be saved;
“Ye must be born again.”
That which is born of flesh is flesh,
And flesh it will remain:
Then marvel not that Jesus saith,
"Ye must be born again."
Spirit of life, thy grace impart,
And breathe on sinners slain:
Bear witness, Lord, in ev'ry heart,
That we are born again.
Dear Saviour. 1et us now begin
To trust and love thy word;
And, by forsaking ev'ry sin,
Prove we are born of God.
