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. It the conscience sprinkles, Frees our guilty hearts; Satan in confusion Terror-struck departs. 6. Oft as earth exulting Wafts its praise on high, Angel-hosts rejoicing Make their glad reply. 7. Lift ye then your voices; Swell the mighty flood; Louder still and louder Praise the precious blood.
