And can it be that I should gain
C D G D A7 D
An interest in the Savior’s blood?
D G/D D7 G D
Died He for me, who caused His pain—
C G G/D D7 G
For me, who Him to death pursued?

’Tis mystery all: th’Immortal dies:
C D G D A7 D
Who can explore His strange design?
D G/D D7 G D
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
C G G/D D7 G
To sound the depths of love divine.

’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
G C D G
Let angel minds inquire no more.

He left His Father’s throne above
C D G D A7 D
So free, so infinite His grace—
D G/D D7 G D
Emptied Himself of all but love,
C G G/D D7 G
And bled for Adam’s helpless race:
G C A D
’Tis mercy all, immense and free,
G C D G
For O my God, it found out me!
G D D7 G
Amazing love! How can it be,
C G/B G/D D7 G
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
C D G D A7 D
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
D G/D D7 G D
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
C G G/D D7 G
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
G C A D
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
G C D G
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
G D D7 G
Amazing love! How can it be,
C G/B G/D D7 G
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
G Am D G
Still the small inward voice I hear,
C D G D A7 D
That whispers all my sins forgiven;
D G/D D7 G D
Still the atoning blood is near,
C G G/D D7 G
That quenched the wrath of hostile Heaven.
G C A D
I feel the life His wounds impart;
G C D G
I feel the Savior in my heart.
G D D7 G
Amazing love! How can it be,
C G/B G/D D7 G
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
G Am D G
No condemnation now I dread;
C D G D A7 D
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;
D G/D D7 G D
Alive in Him, my living Head,
C G G/D D7 G
And clothed in righteousness divine,
G C A D
Bold I approach th’eternal throne,
G C D G
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
G D D7 G
Amazing love! How can it be,
C G/B G/D D7 G
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
