John 3:5

• [Joh 3:5] Awaked By Sinai’s Awful Sound

  Awaked by Sinai’s awful sound, My soul in bonds of guilt I found, And knew not where to go; Eternal truth did loud proclaim, “The sinner must be born again, Or sink to endless woe.” Amazed I stood, but could not tell Which way to shun the gates of hell, For death and hell drew near; I strove, indeed, but strove in vain; “The sinner must be born again” Still sounded in my ear. When to the law I trembling fled, It poured its curses on my head; I no relief could find. This fearful truth increased my pain; “The sinner must be born again” O’erwhelmed my tortured mind. The saints I heard with rapture tell How Jesus conquered death and hell, And broke the fowler’s snare; Yet when I found this truth remain, “The sinner must be born again,” I sank in deep despair. But while I thus in anguish lay, The gracious Savior passed this way, And felt His pity move; The sinner, by His justice slain, Now by His grace is born again; And sings redeeming love.

• [Joh 3:5] Blessèd Jesus! Here We Stand

  Blessèd Jesus! here we stand, Met to do as Thou hast spoken; And this child, at Thy command, Now we bring to Thee, in token That to Christ it here is given; For of such shall be his heaven. Yes! Thy warning voice is plain, And we fain would keep it duly: He who is not born again, Heart and life renewing truly, Born of water and the Spirit, Will God’s kingdom ne’er inherit. Make it, Head, Thy member now; Shepherd, take Thy lamb and feed it; Prince of Peace, its peace be Thou; Way of Life, to Heaven, O lead it: Vine, this branch may nothing sever, Grafted firm in Thee for ever. Now upon Thy heart it lies, What our hearts so dearly treasure; Heavenward lead our burdened sighs, Pour Thy blessing without measure; Write the name we now have given, Write it in the book of Heaven.

• [Joh 3:5] Ye Must Be Born Again

  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.” Refrain “Ye must be born again, Ye must be born again, I verily, verily, say unto thee, Ye must be born again.” 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.” Refrain O ye who would enter that glorious rest, And sing with the ransomed the song of the blest, The life everlasting if ye would obtain, “Ye must be born again.” Refrain 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 this solemn refrain, “Ye must be born again.” Refrain

John 9:2-3

• [Joh 9:2] Christ A Blind Man Saw One Day

  Christ a blind man saw one day, as He went along his way. His disciples asked, “Who sinned, that he blind from birth has been?” Jesus said, “Sin’s not to blame, but God’s work will now be plain.” Then He spit upon the ground, made some mud, and put it on. “Go and wash,” He then did say, and the blind man did obey. He was blind no more; he now could see. All the people were confused when they heard about the news. They said, “Blind you’ve been for life. How then did you gain your sight?” He said, “Jesus—it was He. He made mud, I washed, now see.” Then the Pharisees complained, though the miracle was plain. “This man’s not from God,” they claimed, “for the Sabbath He’s profaned.” They were blind from sin; they could not see. The man’s parents then were called and were asked to recount all. They confessed he was their son, but knew not what Christ had done. They said, “Ask him; let him tell. He’s of age and can speak well.” So they summoned him once more. Said, “This Man’s a sinner sure.” He said, “Whether He has blame, I know not, but this is plain: Though I once was blind, I now can see!” Still the Pharisees did rail, asked him to repeat his tale. Said, “His foll’wer you’ve become, though we don’t know where He’s from.” He replied, “If not from God, this man could not do such good.” Then they drove him from that place. Jesus found him in disgrace. Said, “The Son of Man now speaks; you have seen Him; now believe.” He said, “I believe; Lord, I believe!” Jesus came to judge the earth and show sin for what it’s worth. As He gave the blind man sight, He can cleanse us by His might. But we must admit we’re blind, or His healing we’ll not find. If we claim that we can see, we will ever guilty be. But when we in Him believe, He will then our guilt relieve. We’ll be blind no more when we believe.
