And for these my souls shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise. Amen. Used With Tune: MERCY

Glory be to Jesus

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 6.5.6.5 Appears in 208 hymnals Topics: Year A Dedication Festival Lyrics: 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 endless torment, did the world redeem. 4 There the fainting spirit drinks of life her fill; there, as in the fountain, laves hereself at will. 5 Abel's blood for vengeance pleaded to the skies, but the blood of Jesus for our pardon cries. 6 Oft as it is sprinkled on our guilty hearts, Satan in confusion terror-struck departs. 7 Oft as earth exulting wafts its praise on high angel-hosts rejoicing, make their glad reply. 8 Lift ye then your voices, swell the mighty flood; louder still and louder, praise the precious blood.
