Tune: | WEM IN LEIDENSTAGEN |
Composer: | Friedrich Filitz, 1804-1860 |
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 sin and sorrow
doth the world redeem!
4 Oft as earth exulting
wafts its praise on high,
angel hosts, rejoicing,
make their glad reply.
5 Lift ye then your voices;
swell the mighty flood;
louder still and louder
praise the precious blood.
