_Man's Need of the New Birth._ (400)

Sinners, this solemn truth regard,

Hear, all ye sons of men;

For Christ, the Savior, hath declared,

"Ye must be born again."

2 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."

3 That which is born of flesh is flesh,

And flesh it will remain:

Then marvel not that Jesus saith,

"Ye must be born again."

4 Spirit of life, thy grace impart,

And breathe on sinners slain:

Bear witness, Lord, in ev'ry heart,

That we are born again.

John Fawcett.
