The New Church Hymnal ‎#99

99. Ye Must Be Born Again

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

Refrain:
“Ye must be born again,
Ye must be born again,
I verily, verily say unto you,
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.” [Refrain]

3. O 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.” [Refrain]

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.” [Refrain]
