And Can It Be That I Should Gain Hymn
Olivia Luz
And can it be was written by charles wesley in 1738 in response to his conversion to belief in christ.
And can it be that i should gain an int rest in the savior s blood. In a later republication by the wesleys in 1780 the original fifth stanza was omitted beginning still the small inward voice i hear and this revision has been honored ever since. This hymn is considered one of the best loved of wesley s six thousand hymns written in 1738 to celebrate wesley s conversion to christianity. Among the hymns on the assurance of salvation hymns 322 which is about the fountain that never runs dry is a good hymn.
It was published in john wesley s psalms and hymns in that same year with six stanzas. How can it be that thou my god shouldst die for me. Died he for me who caused his pain for me who him to death pursued. How can it be that thou my god shouldst die for me.
Another good hymn is 296 which was written by charles wesley. This is not an emotional hymn. It is very elegant.
