Wartburg Hymnal ‎#161

161. Glory be to Jesus

1 Glory be to Jesus,
Who in bitter pains
Poured for me the life-blood
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 sin and sorrow
Doth 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 ye then your voices,
Swell the mighty flood;
Louder still and louder,
Praise the precious Blood!
