76. 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 torments
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 we then our voices,
Swell the mighty flood;
Louder still and louder
Praise the precious Blood!

Amen.
