Text: | Regeneration |
1 Not all the outward forms on earth,
Nor rites that GOD has given,
Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth,
Can raise a soul to heaven.
2 The sovereign will of GOD alone
Creates us heirs of grace;
Born in the image of his Son,
A new peculiar race.
3 The spirit, like some heavenly wind,
Blows on the sons of flesh;
Creates anew the carnal mind,
And forms the man afresh.
4 Our quickened souls awake — and rise
From the long sleep of death;
On heavenly things we fix our eyes,
And praise employs our breath.
