I am pretty sure I’ve heard this hymn before but it isn’t incredibly familiar today. My props to Thomas who linked it on Twitter today. It’s very simple and understated, two prereqs of mine for an acceptable Triduum hymn.

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.

Blest through endless ages
Be the precious stream
Which from endless torments
Doth the world redeem.

Abel??s blood for vengeance
Pleaded to the skies;
But the blood of Jesus
For our pardon cries.

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.

Lift we then our voices,
Swell the mighty flood;
Louder still and louder
Praise the precious blood!
(HT: Net Hymnal)

Thomas was nice enough to link two versions of this hymn on Twitter. The one I chose is by Warriors for Christ from Grove City College. The page pictured looks like it could have come out of the “old red book” (Service Book and Hymnal, also known as the SBH) though I’m pretty sure it isn’t.
