"And Can it Be?" performed by Organist Scott Fredericks and Pianist Christian Keller at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Hanover, PA. The organ is 7th largest in the world with almost 15,000 pipes, and is a distinctive emblem in the music world.
This rendition was based on Samuel Metzger's arrangement of Sagina, but with the capabilities of Scott and the options at his fingertips, the orchestrating and embellishments were all him. The piano part was also improvised.
Scott Fredericks studied music at Westminster Choir College at Princeton, and The Royal School of Church Music in England.
Christian Keller is a senior at Littlestown High School and will be studying music at the Sunderman Conservatory at Gettysburg College.

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood?
Died 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?

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.
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for 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.
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

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.
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
