A&M Hymn #107: Glory be to Jesus

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Hymns Ancient & Modern

1

Honour, praise, and glory be
Now and through eternity. Anion.
101 " Looking unto Jesus."
O'erwhf.lm'd in depths of woe,

2

Upon the Tree of scorn
Hangs the Redeemer of mankind,
With racking anguish torn.
See how the nails those Hands

3

And Feet so tender rend ;
See down His Face, and Neck, and
His sacred Blood descend.
Oh, hear that last, loud cry

4

Which pierced His Mother's heart,
As into God the Father's hands
He bade His soul depart.
Earth hears, and trembling quakes

5

Around that tree of pain ;
The rocks are rent ; the graves are
Shall man alone be mute?
Have we no griefs, or fears ?

6

Come, old and young, come, all man
And bathe those leet in tears.
Come, fall before His Cross
Who shed for us His Blood;

7

Who died, the Victim of pure love,
To make us sons of God.
.Iesu, all praise to Thee,
Our Joy and endless Rest :

8

Be Thou our Guide while pilgrims
Our Crown amid the blest. Amen
Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed ui
102 t0 God hxJ Thy Blood."

9

He, Who once in righteous ven-
geance ("flood,
Whelm'd the world beneath the
w?/Once again in mercy cleansed it

10

With His own most precious Blood,
P Coming from His Throne on high
On the painful Cross to die.
O the wisdom of the Eternal !

11

0 the depth of love Divine !
O the sweetness of that mercy
Which in Jesus Christ did shine !
We were sinners doom'd to die ;

12

Jesus paid the penalty.
When before the Judge we tremble
Conscious of His broken laws,
May the Blood of His Atonement

13

Cry aloud, and plead our cause,
Bid our guilty terrors cease,
Be our pardon and our peace.
Prince and Author of salvation,

14

Lord of Majesty supreme,
Bv the world Thou didst redeem ;
ory to the Father be

14

Amen.
