Verse 1
Glory be to Jesus,
who, in bitter pains
poured for me the lifeblood
from his sacred veins!
Verse 2
Grace and life eternal
in that blood I find;
blest be his compassion,
infinitely kind!
Verse 3
Blest through endless ages
be the precious stream
which from endless torments
did the world redeem!
Verse 4
Abel's blood for vengeance
pleaded to the skies;
but the blood of Jesus
for our pardon cries.
Verse 5
Oft as earth exulting
wafts its praise on high,
angel hosts rejoicing
make their glad reply.
Verse 6
Lift we, then, our voices,
swell the mighty flood,
louder still and louder
praise the precious blood!
