And Can It Be?

And can it be? and can it be?

Amazing love, how can it be?

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 Him to death pursued?

Amazing love! How can it be

That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

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 ('tis mercy all)

Immense and free (immense and free)

For O my God (for O my God)

It found out me!

And can it be? and can it be?

Amazing love, how can it be?

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 th'eternal throne

And claim the crown, through Christ my own

Amazing love! How can it be

That Thou, my God

Shouldst die for me?

Amazing love, how can it be?

Amazing love!
