1 Glory be to Jesus,
Who, in bitter pains,
Poured for me the lifeblood
From His sacred veins!
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!
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!
Pleaded to the skies;
But the blood of Jesus
For our pardon cries!
5 Oft as earth exulting
Wafts its praise on high,
Angel hosts rejoicing
Make their glad reply.
Wafts its praise on high,
Angel hosts rejoicing
Make their glad reply.
