Isaac 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.
