S.M.

1
Unless we’re born again,
To heaven we cannot go;
By nature we’re a mass of sin,
Guilt, wretchedness, and woe.

2
Unless the Holy Ghost
Eternal life impart,
Raise us from self in Christ to trust,
And give us a new heart,

3
We cannot bliss enjoy;
Wrath must our portion be;
With Jesus none can reign on high
Unless from sin set free.

4
The quickening power of God,
The love and blood of Christ,
Can save from wrath’s tremendous rod,
And make our souls rejoice.
