And Can It Be

Verse 1: And can it be, that I should gain an int'rest in the Sav - iour's blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be, That thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be, That thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Verse 2: 'Tis mystery all! Th' immortal dies: who can explore His strange design? In vain the firstborn seraph tries, to sound the depth of love divine. 'Tis mercy all! Let earth a - dore, let angel minds inquire no more. 'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds inquire no more. Verse 3: He left His Father's throne a - bove, so free, so in - fin - ite His grace. Emptied Himself of all but love, and bled for Adam's helpless race. 'Tis mercy all, im - mense and free; for, O my God, it found out me! 'Tis mercy all, immense and free; for, O my God, it found out me! Verse 4: Long my imprison'd spir - it lay, fast bound in sin and nat - ure's night; Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed Thee. My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed Thee. Verse 5: No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine! Alive in Him, my living Head, and clothed with righteousness divine. Bold I approach th'et - er - nal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ, my own Bold I approach th' eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. © Public Domain All rights reserved.
