Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.58

First Line: Can it be that Jesus bought me

Can it be that Jesus bought me,
And on the shameful cross atoned for me,
Loved me, chose me ere I knew Him ?
Oh, what a precious, precious
Friend is He !
Oh, it is wonderful, very, very wonderful,
All His grace so rich and free !
Oh, it is wonderful, very, very wonderful,
All His love and grace to me !

2 Praise His name, He sought and
found me, [brought me near;
Saved me from wandering and
Freely now His grace bestowing,
Jesus is growing unto me more dear.

3 Oh, how long He had been waiting,
Waiting the dawning of the precious hour,
When I should at last be yielding,
Yielding to Jesus every ransomed power.

4 From that hour He has been seeking
How He may fill me with His
precious love ;
How He may through grace transform me,
Meet for the fellowship of saints above.
