The Church Hymnal ‎#356

356. Glory be to Jesus

1 Glory be to Jesus
Who in bitter pains
Poured for me the life blood
From His sacred veins.
Grace and life eternal
In that blood I find,
Blest be His compassion,
Infinitely kind.

2 Blest through endless ages
Be the precious stream,
Which from sin and sorrow
Doth the world redeem!
Abel's blood for vengeance
Pleaded to the skies;
But the Blood of Jesus
For our pardon cries.

3 Oft as earth exulting
Wafts its praise on high,
Angel hosts, rejoicing,
Make their glad reply.
Lift ye then your voices;
Swell the mighty flood;
Louder still and louder,
Praise the precious Blood.
