And can it Be?

Author: Rev. Chas. Wesley Hymnal: JW1878 #122 (1879) First Line: And can it be that I should gain Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain An int'rest in the Savior's blood? Died he for me, who caus'd his pain? For me, who him to death pursued? Amazing love! how can it be That thou, my Lord, shouldst die for me? 2 'Tis myst'ry all, th' Immortal dies! Who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine; 'Tis mercy all! let earth adore: Let angel minds inquire no more. 3 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 oh, my God, it found out me! 4 No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, with 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 thro' Christ my own.

Prospect

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: JW1878 #120 (1879) First Line: And let this feeble body fail Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it faint or die; My soul shall quit this mournful vale, And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodies saints, And find its long sought rest, That only bliss for which it pants, In the Redeemer's breas 2 In hope of that immortal crown I now the cross sustain, And gladly wander up and down, And smile at toil and pain; I suffer on my threescore years, Till my Deliv'rer come, And wipe away his servant's tears, And take his exile home. 3 O what are all my suff'rings here, If, Lord, thou count me meet With that enraptured host t' appear, And worship at thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away, But let me find them all again In that eternal day. Languages: English Tune Title: [And let this feeble body fail]

Our Advocate
