“With the precious blood of Christ.”-1 Pet. 1:19
1 Glory be to Jesus,
Who, in bitter pains,
Pour’d 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 Oft as it is sprinkled
On our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion
Terror-struck departs.
- 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.
