142. A Ruler Once Came to Jesus by Night

P.M.
1
A ruler once came to Jesus by night,
 
To ask Him the way of salvation and light;
 
The Savior made answer in words true and plain,
 
"Ye must be born again"!
 
"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"!
3
O ye who would enter this glorious rest,
 
And sing with the ransomed the song of the blest;
 
The life everlasting if ye would obtain,
 
"Ye must be born again"!
