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? 

Amazing love! How can it be, 

That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? 

’Tis mystery all: th’ Immortal dies: 

Who can explore His strange design? 

In vain the firstborn seraph tries 

To sound the depths of love divine. 

’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, 

Let angel minds inquire no more. 

’Tis 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: 

’Tis mercy all, immense and free, 

For O my God, it found out me! 

’Tis 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. 

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. 

Bold I approach the eternal throne, 

And claim the crown, through Christ my own. 

And can   it be that I      should gain 

An in_terest   in    the       Sa____viour’s blood? 

Died He for me,   who   caused His pain 

For   me, who Him   to      death pur_sued? 

Ama_zing  love! How      can it     be,
