1. By Nature Born to Pain and Death O what a lot is this? But born again, O glorious thought! And born for endless bliss. 2. Born here an heir to grief and woe, A rebel to my God; But by the Spirit born again For heaven's high abode. 3. Born here both dead, and blind, and deaf, And bound with Satan's cord; But born again to live and see, And hear, and praise the Lord.
