#44: And Can It Be That I Should Gain?

 (Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

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?

CHORUS

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?

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.

CHORUS

3

No condemnation now I dread, I am my Lord’s and He is mine;

Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in Righteousness divine.

CHORUS
