And can it be

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 286 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:12 First Line: And can it be that I should gain Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain an int'rest in the Saviour'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? Refrain: Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldest die for me? 2 'Tis myst'ery all! th'Immortal dies; who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine! 'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds enquire no more. [Refrain] 3 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. [Refrain] 4 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. [Refrain] 5 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 the eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ my own.

Sweeter as the Years Go by

Author: Lelia N. Morris Appears in 118 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:8 First Line: Of Jesus' love that sought me Lyrics: 1 Of Jesus’ love that sought me When I was lost in sin-- Of wondrous grace that brought me Back to His fold again-- Of heights and depths of mercy Far deeper than the sea, And higher than the heavens, My theme shall ever be. Chorus: Sweeter as the years go by, Sweeter as the years go by; Richer, fuller, deeper, Jesus’ love is sweeter, Sweeter as the years go by. 2 He trod in old Judea Life’s pathway long ago-- The people thronged about Him His saving grace to know; He healed the brokenhearted And caused the blind to see; And still His great heart yearneth In love for even me. (Chorus) 3 ’Twas wondrous love which led Him For us to suffer loss-- To bear without a murmur The anguish of the cross; With saints redeemed in glory, Let us our voices raise, Till heav’n and earth re-echo With our Redeemer’s praise.
