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 sin and sorrow doth the world redeem!
4 Oft as earth exulting wafts its praise on high, angel hosts, rejoicing, make their glad reply.
5 Lift ye then your voices; swell the mighty flood; louder still and louder praise the precious blood.
