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 (amazing love)
How can it be (how can it be)
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

'Tis mystery all! the 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
'Tis mercy all ('tis mercy all)
Let earth adore (let earth adore)
Let angel minds inquire no more

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 ('tis mercy all)
Immense and free (immense and free)
For, O my God, it found out 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
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, further 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
Bold I approach (bold I approach)
The eternal throne (the eternal throne)
And claim the crown, through Christ my own
