And Can It Be : ウィキペディア英語版 | And Can It Be "And Can It Be That I Should Gain?" is a Christian hymn written by Charles Wesley. Diarmaid MacCulloch suggests that it is one of the best-loved of Wesley's six thousand hymns.〔Diarmaid MacCulloch, ''(A History of Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years )'', p. 754.〕 "And Can It Be" was written in 1738, to celebrate Wesley's conversion, which he regarded as having taken place on 21 May of that year.〔Kenneth C. Kinghorn, (Wesley: A Heart Transformed Can Change the World ), p. 33.〕 The lines "My chains fell off, my heart was free/I rose, went forth, and followed thee" are based on the story of the Liberation of Saint Peter in the New Testament.〔Blair Gilmer Meeks, ''Expecting the Unexpected: An Advent Devotional Guide'' (Upper Room Books, 2006), p. 38.〕 ==References==
