Full Lyrics
VERSE 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
Amazing love! How can it be that thou my God should die for me
VERSE 2
Tis Mystery all! The 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 inquire no more.
VERSE 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 at me.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 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.
