44. And Can It Be That I Should Gain

1. And can it be that I should gain
An int'rest in the Savior's blood?
Died He for me, who caused his pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?

Refrain:
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!

2. He left his Father's throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace!
Humbled Himself and came in love,
And bled for Adam's helpless race. [Refrain]

3 No condemnation now I dread,
I am my Lord's and He is mine;
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine. [Refrain]
