Author: E. Caswall (1814-1878) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #126 (1987) Meter: 6.5.6.5 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,
blessed be his compassion
wonderfully kind!
3 Abel's book for vengeance
pleaded to the skies,
but the blood of Jesus
for our pardon cries.
4 When that blood is sprinkled
on our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion
terror-struck departs.
5 When this earth exulting
lifts its praise on high,
angel hosts rejoicing
make their glad reply.
6 Raise your thankful voices,
swell the mighty flood;
louder still and louder
praise the Lamb of God! Topics: God, Saviour Suffering and Dying; The Fall; Lent 5, The King and the Kingdom The Victory of the Cross Languages: English Tune Title: CASWALL
