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 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 it is sprinkled
on our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion
terror-struck departs.

[6]
Oft as earth exulting
wafts its praise on high,
angel hosts rejoicing
make their glad reply .

[7]
Let us lift our voices,
swell the mighty flood;
louder still and louder
praise the precious blood.
