Once, or Twice Born

 
The ungodly man but once is born
But when he feels the life-strings sever,

Then twice he dies; and angels mourn
A spirit lost, that dies forever.

Twice born, the godly die but once;
The second death enduring never;

His life through endless ages runs,
He dies to live, and lives forever!
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
