Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #142 (2013) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 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 torments
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 Lift ye then your voices;
swell the mighty flood;
louder still and louder
praise the precious blood. Topics: Angels; Atonement; Church year Passiontide; Church Year Good Friday; Forgiveness; Jesus compassion; Palm Sunday Year A; Passiontide; The Fifth Sunday of Lent Year A Scripture: Romans 5:9-11 Languages: English Tune Title: CASWALL
