Glory Be to Jesus



(Lent reflection)
Glory be to Jesus, Who, in bitter pains,
Poured for me the lifeblood From His sacred veins!

Grace and life eternal In that blood I find;
Blest be His compassion, Infinitely kind.

Oft as earth exulting Sends its praise on high,
Angel hosts, rejoicing,Make their glad reply.

Lift we then our voices,Swell the mighty flood;
Louder still and louder Praise the precious blood!
