Author: E. Caswall, 1814-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #283 (1996) Meter: 6.5.6.5 First Line: Glory be to Jesus, Who in bitter pains 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 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!
