198 And Can It Be?

[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?
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!

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.

[C]
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou my God shouldst die for me!

Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature s night;
Thine eye diffused a quick ning ray
I woke the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off my heart was free;
I rose went forth and followed Thee.

[C]
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou my God shouldst die for me!

[4]
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.

[C]
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou my God shouldst die for me!
