And can it Be?

Author: Rev. Chas. Wesley Appears in 285 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: [And can it be that I should gain]

Still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed; All my help from thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of thy wing. 3 Plenteous grace with thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within.

Duane Street

Appears in 784 hymnals First Line: Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone, He, whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow way till him I view. The way the holy prophets went-- The road that leads from banishment,-- The King's highway of holiness, I'll go, for all his paths are peace. 2 This is the way I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not; My grief a burden long has been, Because I was not saved from sin. The more I strove against its power, I felt its weight and guilt the more; Till late I heard my Savior say, Come hither, soul, I am the way. 3 Lo! glad I come; and thou, blest Lamb, Shalt take me to thee as I am; Nothing but sin have I to give-- Nothing but love shall I receive. Then will I tell to sinners round What a dear Savior I have found; I'll point to thy redeeming blood, And say, Behold the way to God. Used With Tune: [Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone]
