Text: | Glory be to Jesus |
Translator: | Edward Caswall |
Tune: | ST. CONSTANTINE |
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
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!
