Glory Be to Jesus {Glory Be to Jesus by Italian, }18th Cent. WEM IN LEIDENSTAGEN-Friedrich Filitz FANCE-Walter B. Gilbert Glory Be to Jesus 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 sin and sorrow 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 ye then your voices; Swell the mighty flood; Louder still and louder Praise the precious blood. Amen.
