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!
