And can it be that I should gain

Author: C. Wesley (1707-1788) Appears in 301 hymnals Topics: God's Church Doxology, Glory to God Lyrics: 1 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? 2 'Tis 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! 'Tis mercy all - Let earth adore; let angel minds inquire no more. 3 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. 4 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 out, and followed thee. 5 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. Used With Tune: SAGINA
