EN 5620 Glory Be to Jesus
1Pet.1.18
Versi Version 1
1
Glory be to Jesus,
Who, in bitter pains,
Poured for me the lifeblood
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
Doth the world redeem.
4
There the fainting spirit
Drinks of life her fill;
There as in a fountain
Laves herself at will.
5
O, the blood of Christ! it
Soothes the Father’s ire ;
Opes the gate of Heaven;
Quells eternal fire.
6
Abel’s blood for vengeance
Pleaded to the skies;
But the blood of Jesus
For our pardon cries.
7
Oft as it is sprinkled
On our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion
Terror struck departs.
8
Oft as earth exulting
Wafts its praise on high,
Angel hosts, rejoicing,
Make their glad reply.
9
Lift we then our voices,
Swell the mighty flood;
Louder still and louder
Praise the precious blood!
