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, should die for me?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me
'Tis mystery all! Th'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
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me
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
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me
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
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me
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 th'eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me.
