And can it be that

- And can it be that I should gain
- An interest in the Saviour'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?
- 'This mystery all! The Immortal dies:
- Who can explore His strange design?
- In vain the first-born seraph tries
- To sound the depths of love divine!
- 'This mercy all! let earth adore,
- Let angel minds inquire no more.
- He left His Father's throne above,
- So free, so infinite His grace;
- Emptied Himself of all but love,
- And bled for Adam's helpless race.
- 'This mercy all, immense and free;
- For, O my God, it found out me.
- Long my imprisoned spirit lay
- Fast bound in sin and nature's night;
- Thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
- I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
- My chains fell off, my heart was free;
- I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
- No condemnation now I dread;
- Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
- Alive in Him, my living Head,
- And clothed in righteousness divine,
- Bold I approach the eternal throne,
- And claim the crown, through Christ my own
