Windham/Kedron - The First Word

And can it be that I should gain
An int'rest in the Saviour'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?

'Tis mercy all,
immense and free,
For, O my God,
It found out me!

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.
