And Can It Be That I Should Gain

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 286 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain an int'rest 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, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! how can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? 2 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! 'Tis mercy all, immense and free, for, O my God, it found out me! 3 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. My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee. 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 th'eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Bold I approach th'eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ, my own.

The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, unseen, but ever near, is in such friendship better known, alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound by all that God has done, we'll go with joy, to give the world, the love that makes us one.

Alleluia, Lord Most high!" Topics: Praise and Thanksgiving Songs to Remember the Work of the Son Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: Liturgy of St. James, 4th C.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,997 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.
