“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, shouldst die for me?/ Amazing love! How can it be/ That Thou, my God, shouldst 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!/ ‘Tis mercy all, immense and free,/ For O my God, it found out me!”
—Charles Wesley, “And Can It Be That I Should Gain?” 1738
