41. A ruler once came to Jesus by night

1 A ruler once came to Jesus by night,
To ask Him the way to salvation and light;
The Master made answer in words true and plain
"Ye must be born again."

Chorus:
"Ye must be born again,"
Ye must be born again,
I verily, verily, say unto thee,
Ye must be born again.

2 Ye children of men, attend to the word
So solemnly uttered by Jesus, the Lord,
And let not this message to you be in vain,
"Ye must be born again." [Chorus]

3 Oh, ye who would enter that glorious rest,
And sing with the ransomed the song of the blest;
The life everlasting if ye would obtain,
"Ye must be born again." [Chorus]

4 A dear one in heaven thy heart yearns to see,
At the beautiful gate may be watching for thee;
Then list to the note of this solemn refrain,
"Ye must be born again." [Chorus]
