<p>And can it be that I should gain<br>
|
|
An interest in the Savior’s blood!<br>
|
|
Died He for me who caused His pain!<br>
|
|
For me who Him to death pursued?<br>
|
|
Amazing love! How can it be,<br>
|
|
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?<br>
|
|
Amazing love! How can it be,<br>
|
|
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?</p>
|
|
<p>’Tis mystery all: th’Immortal dies!<br>
|
|
Who can explore His strange design?<br>
|
|
In vain the firstborn seraph tries<br>
|
|
To sound the depths of love divine.<br>
|
|
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore;<br>
|
|
Let angel minds inquire no more.<br>
|
|
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore;<br>
|
|
Let angel minds inquire no more.</p>
|
|
<p>He left His Father’s throne above<br>
|
|
(so free, so infinite His grace!),<br>
|
|
Emptied Himself of all but love,<br>
|
|
And bled for Adam’s helpless race.<br>
|
|
’Tis mercy all, immense and free,<br>
|
|
For O my God, it found out me!<br>
|
|
’Tis mercy all, immense and free,<br>
|
|
For O my God, it found out me!</p>
|
|
<p>Long my imprisoned spirit lay,<br>
|
|
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;<br>
|
|
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray;<br>
|
|
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;<br>
|
|
My chains fell off, my heart was free,<br>
|
|
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.<br>
|
|
My chains fell off, my heart was free,<br>
|
|
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>No condemnation now I dread;<br>
|
|
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;<br>
|
|
Alive in Him, my living Head,<br>
|
|
And clothed in righteousness divine,<br>
|
|
Bold I approach th’eternal throne,<br>
|
|
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.<br>
|

Bold I approach th’eternal throne,<br>

And claim the crown, through Christ my own.</p>
