And can it be that I should gain
an interest in the Saviour's blood?
Die 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?
Amazing love - how can it be
that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
'Tis Mercy all! - the 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;
'Tis mercy all! - Let earth adore;
let angel minds inquire no more.
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;
'Tis mercy all, immense and free;
for, O my God, it found out me.
Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night:
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray;
I woke - the dungeon flamed with light.
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed thee;
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed thee.
No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne
and claim the crown through Christ my own;
bold I approach the eternal throne
and claim the crown through Christ my own.
[Still the small inward voice I hear,
that whispers all my sins forgiv'n;
Still the atoning blood is near,
that quenched the wrath of hostile heav'n:
I feel the life His wounds impart;
I feel my Saviour in my heart;
I feel the life His wounds impart;
I feel my Saviour in my heart.]
"And Can It Be"
Words: Charles Wesley, 1738
Music: Thomas Campbell, in The Bouquet, 1825 (SAGINA)
何能成就，今我獲救！
憑藉淚血主架上流。
全為我放下——為我傷透，
從沒怨，盡嘗遍痛苦詛咒。
深恩奇愛，令我剛硬心顫動，
卻是神被釘著而不是我！
神恩不變，神愛永在，
【深恩豐足，深恩豐足】
未敢相信主為我死，
未敢【真心】相信主替代我。
全然奇妙，驚歎頌讚：
謎樣奧秘可會明暸！
何事那永活神掛高架？
沉靜裡、默然處，我心呼叫。
恩典憐愛，讓眾天下皆仰望，
我靈同頌天上萬軍和唱。
誰可猜透，誰個領會？
【不可猜測，不可猜測】
願傾心意稱頌我主，
願傾【傾出】心意稱讚頌唱。
王權榮耀，一切盡棄：
償代贖價跟父別離。
全為我放下——唯愛不棄，
隨著血淚除去禁果之過！
恩典憐愛，沒法測量猜與度，
我是誰值他尋覓恩待我？
長高深闊，難以記述！
【天高淵深，天高淵深】
是他恩賜搜索我心，
是他【恩深】恩賜竟顧念我。
靈魂長被憂戚惑困，
長被罪惡操縱嘲諷。
人在這暗地，神愛光照：
牢獄再莫囚禁，我心飛縱。
枷鎖除去，活潑心靈輕躍動，
挺立、提步、跨前行、跟著你。
憑恩得救，憑血潔淨，
【衷心歡呼，衷心歡呼】
站起衝刺總為你走，
站起【歡欣】衝刺總靠著你。
完全成義，跟主互扣，
無窮罪咎不再擁有。
神住進我內，全已足夠，
旋律永為神賜永生高奏！
歡欣愉快是我主耶穌作伴：
我願呈奉心念全交付你。
無憂不怕，來見你面，
【不驚不憂，不驚不憂】
獲得冠冕只靠主恩，
獲得【今得】冠冕只靠著你。
〈何能成就〉
