Glory be to Jesus, Who in bitter pains Poured for me the life-blood From his sacred veins! Grace and life eternal In that blood I find, Blest be his compassion Infinitely kind! | Blest through endless ages Be the precious stream, Which from sin and sorrow Doth the world redeem! Abel's blood for vengeance Pleaded to the skies; But the blood of Jesus For our pardon cries. | Oft as earth exulting Wafts its praise on high Angel hosts, rejoicing, Make their glad reply. Lift ye then your voices; Swell the mighty flood; Louder still and louder Praise the precious blood. | |
