And Can It Be That I Should Gain? Tab

by Charles Wesley


 Verse 1:
E                   A  B        E        A   B      E      B   F#    B 
And can it be, that I    should gain  an in- terest in the Saviour's blood?
B                   E          B         A        E      B        E 
Died He for me, who caused His pain?  For me, who Him to death pursued?
E   B      E         A   F#/A# B         E        A             B       E 
A-  mazing love, how can it    be?  that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

Refrain:
   E      B         B/D#   E         A        E    A        E/B   B    E 
A- mazing love, how can it be?  that Thou, my God, shouldst die   for  me?

Verse 2:
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.

Verse 3:
Long my imprisoned spirit lay  fast bound in sin and nature's night;
Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray,  I woke, the dungeon flamed with light -
My chains fell off, my heart was free;  I rose, went forth, and followed Thee!
