And Can It Be (Modern Melody)
He left His Father's throne above
So free, so infinite His grace--
Humbled Himself, how great His love!
And bled for Adam's helpless race:
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
O praise my God, it reaches me!
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.
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.

So free, so infinite His grace--

{c: Verse 3}
Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature's night;

I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,

{c: Verse 4}
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 it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior'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?
He left His Father's throne above
So free, so infinite His grace--
Humbled Himself, how great His love!
And bled for Adam's helpless race:
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
O praise my God, it reaches me!
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.
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.
