Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #103 (1993) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 Glory be to Jesus,
Who in bitter pains
Poured for me the lifeblood
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
Lifts 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! Topics: Lent; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: WEM IN LEIDENSTAGEN
