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!"

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."

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."
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."

I like this song because it reminds us that we must be born of God.

How comforting and humbling to hear Jesus' own words for my salvation - simply - I must be born again.

I was so touch by this hymn because I was under the authority of Jesus. I love to sing this when I'm in suffering.

This song reminds me of Jesus' ever watshful eye that makes him available to his children at all times. It does not matter what time of the day it is or how dark your own life is made by your sins. As soon as you reach his presence, be assured of full time attendance to your very own needs.

Stanza 4 and chorus 2 were added:

4. There's life in the lifted-up Savior today;

The Spirit will sanctify all who obey;

If ye would repent and believe in His name,

Ye shall be born again!

Chorus 2:

Ye shall be born again!

Ye shall be born again!

If ye would repent and believe in His name,

Ye shall be born again!
