How Solemn Are the Words

Verse 1

How solemn are the words, And yet to faith how plain, Which Jesus uttered while on earth, Ye must be born again!

Verse 2

Ye must be born again! For so hath God decreed; No reformation will suffice, 'Tis life poor sinners need.

Verse 3

Ye must be born again! And life in Christ must have; In vain the soul may elsewhere go, 'Tis He alone can save.

Verse 4

Ye must be born again! Or never enter heav'n; 'Tis only blood-washed ones are there, The ransomed and forgiv'n.
