"and can it be" is the methodist national anthem. unfortunately i hear that some catholics are starting to sing it... that makes it suspicious since all good christians (ie fundies) believe that *anything* accepted by catholics cannot be of god... i grew up methodist. “and can it be” is the methodist national anthem. unfortunately i hear that some catholics are starting to sing it… that makes it suspicious since all good christians (ie fundies) believe that *anything* accepted by catholics cannot be of god…

First hymn I memorized after my own conversion. There is nothing fundy about it. This is by Charles Wesley, c. 1738, so it is Anglican/Methodist in origin.

These types of hymns still move me, but the southern gospel tripe sung in my parents' church makes me want to barf. Def. agree.

In my mind it ranks side by side with "Amazing Grace". I love the third verse because it vividly takes me back to when I discovered God. "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." A chill goes up and down my spine every time I sing/ hear these words. It was a great disappointment that the song leader in the fundy church skipped this verse about 95% of the time. Thanks for posting this song. This song is one of my favorites….. In my mind it ranks side by side with “Amazing Grace”.
