- Praise
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 endless torments
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 we then our voices,
Swell the mighty flood;
Louder still, and louder
Praise the precious blood!
Amen.
