95. Glory Be to Jesus

1 Glory be to Jesus,
Who, in bitter pains,
Poured for me the lifeblood
From his sacred veins.

2 Grace and life eternal
In that blood I find;
Blest be his compassion,
Infinitely kind.

3 Blest through endless ages
Be the precious stream
Which from endless torment
Did the world redeem.

4 Abel’s blood for vengeance
Pleaded to the skies;
But the blood of Jesus
For our pardon cries.

5 Oft as earth exulting
Wafts its praise on high,
Angel hosts rejoicing
Make their glad reply.

6 Lift we then our voices,
Swell the mighty flood;
Louder still and louder
Praise the precious blood.
