¶Lyrics / Text

Glory be to Jesus, who, in bitter pains, poured for me the life-blood from his sacred veins. Grace and life eternal in that blood I find; blest be his compassion infinitely kind. Blest through endless ages be the precious stream, which from endless torments did the world redeem. Abel’s blood for vengeance pleaded to the skies; but the blood of Jesus for our pardon cries. Oft as it is sprinkled on our guilty hearts, Satan in confusion terror-struck departs; oft as earth exulting wafts its praise on high, angel-hosts rejoicing make their glad reply. Lift ye then your voices; swell the mighty flood; louder still and louder praise the precious blood.
