Hymn 302
Glory be to Jesus
Meter: 6.5.6.5.
1
Glory be to Jesus,
who in bitter pains
ppoured 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 torment
doth the world redeem!
4
Abel's blood for vengeance
pleaded to the skies;
but the blood of Jesus
for our pardon cries.
5
Oft as it is sprinkled
on 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.
