Isaac Watts - Hymn 95Isaac Watts - Hymn 95
Work rating: Low


Regeneration. John 1:13; 3:3, etc. Not all the outward forms on earth, Nor rites that God has giv`n, Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth, Can raise a soul to heav`n. The sovereign will of God alone Creates us heirs of grace Born in the image of his Son, A new, peculiar race. The Spirit, like some heav`nly wind, Blows on the sons of flesh, New-models all the carnal mind, And forms the man afresh. Our quickened souls awake, and rise From the long sleep of death; On heav`nly things we fix our eyes, And praise employs our breath.
