Glory be to Jesus,

| 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 torments |
| | Did the world redeem. |
| 4. | Abel's blood for vengeance |
| | Pleaded to the skies; |
| | But the blood of Jesus |
| | For our pardon cries. |
| 5. | It the conscience sprinkles, |
| | Frees 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. |
