AND CAN IT BE, THAT I SHOULD GAIN
   Words: Charles Wesley, 1738
   Tune: Sagina, by Thomas Campbell, 1825

   G    Em   D   G        C6     D7     G
1  And  can  it  be, that I      should gain
2  He   left his Father's throne a   -  bove,
3  Long my   im -prisoned spir - it     lay
4  No   con -dem-nation   now    I      dread,

  (G)   C6    D7      G D/F#-G   D/A  A7     D
1  An   in  - terest in the--e   Sav -ior's  blood?
2  So   free, so     in -fi--i - nite his    grace!
3  Fast bound in     sin a---and na - ture's night;
4  Je - sus,  and    all i---in  him, is     mine!

  (D)        G/D    D      G          D
1  Died  he  for me-e, who caused his pain?
2  Emptied   him-se-elf of all  but   love,
3  Thine eye dif-fu-used a quickening ray,
4  Alive     in  hi-im, my living     Head,

  (D)  C          G     C     G/D    D7   G
1  For me,  who   him   to    death  pur -sued?
2  And bled  for  A  -  dam's help - less race:
3  I   woke, the  dun - geon  flamed with light;
4  And clothed in right-eous -ness   di - vine,

  (G)             D      Am--G  C     A7  D
1  Amazing        love!  ho--ow can   it  be
2 'Tis   mercy    all,   i---im-mense and free,
3  My chains fell off,   my--y  heart was free,
4  Bold   I    ap-proach the-e -ter - nal throne,

  (D)   G          C              D         G
1  That thou,  my  God, shouldst  die  for  me?
2  For, O    my    God,    it     found out me!
3  I    rose, went forth,   and   followed  thee.
4  And  claim the  crown, through Christ my own.

CHORUS
  (G)      D         D7     G
   Amazing love! how can it be
  (G)   C        G    C        G/D D7  G
   That thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
