					10.6.

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!”

		“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 ransom’d the song of the blest;
	The life everlasting if ye would obtain,
	“Ye must be born again!”

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 the solemn refrain:
	“Ye must be born again!”
