And can it be, that I should gain

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #396a (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 And can it be, that I should gain an interest 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? 2 'Tis mystery all: the Immortal dies! Who can explore his strange design? In vain the firstborn seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine. 'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore; let angel minds inquire no more. 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! 4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay, fast bound in sin and nature's night; thine eye diffused a quickening ray; I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; my chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee. 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.

And can an all-creating arm grow weary or decay? 2 Supreme in wisdom as in power the Rock of ages stands; though him thou canst not see, nor trace the working of his hands. 3 He gives the conquest to the weak, supports the fainting heart; and courage in the evil hour his heavenly aids impart. 4 Mere human power shall fast decay, and youthful vigour cease; but they who wait upon the Lord in strength shall still increase. 5 They with unwearied feet shall tread the path of life divine; with growing ardour onward move, with growing brightness shine. 6 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar, their wings are faith and love, till, past the cloudy regions here, they rise to heaven above.
