And Can It Be
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 286 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:1 First Line: And can it be that I should gain Refrain First Line: Amazing love! How can it be Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain
an interest in the Savior's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain–
for me, who caused his bitter death?
Amazing love! How can it be
that you, my Lord, should die for me?
Refrain:
Amazing love! How can it be
that you, my Lord, should die for me?!
2 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!
What mercy this, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me! [Refrain]
3 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night.
Your sunrise turned that night to day;
I woke– the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, your voice I knew;
I rose, went out, and followed you. [Refrain]
4 No condemnation now I dread,
for Christ, 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. [Refrain]

Hymn 14
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 132 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:33 First Line: Who shall the Lord's elect condemn? Lyrics:
Who shall the Lord's elect condemn?
'Tis God that justifies their souls;
And mercy, like a mighty stream,
O'er all their sins divinely rolls.
Who shall adjudge the saints to hell?
'Tis Christ that suffered in their stead;
And, the salvation to fulfil,
Behold him rising from the dead!
He lives! he lives and sits above,
For ever interceding there:
Who shall divide us from his love?
Or what should tempt us to despair?
Shall persecution, or distress,
Famine, or sword, or nakedness?
He that hath loved us bears us through,
And makes us more than conquerors too.
Faith hath an overcoming power;
It triumphs in the dying hour:
Christ is our life, our joy, our hope,
Nor can we sink with such a prop.
Not all that men on earth can do,
Nor powers on high, nor powers below,
Shall cause his mercy to remove,
Or wean our hearts from Christ our love.

O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
Author: George Matheson Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 676 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:35-39 Lyrics: 1 O love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2 O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:18-39 Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy
Like the wideness of the sea;
There’s a kindness in God's justice
Which is more than liberty.
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
2 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of our mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple
We should take him at his word,
And our lives would be thanksgiving
For the goodness of our Lord.
3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
Like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
From a love so true and deep?
There is welcome for the sinner
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Savior,
There is healing in his blood.

In him meet south and north,
All Christly souls are one in him,
Throughout the whole wide earth.
