Text: | Glory be to Jesus |

Tune: | WEM IN LEIDENSTAGEN |
Composer: | Friedrich Filitz |
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 church 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.
5 Lift we, then, our voices,
Swell the mighty flood,
Louder still and louder
Praise the precious blood!
Amen.
