HAIL JESUS HAIL
Hail, Jesus! Hail! who for my sake
Sweet Blood from
Mary’s veins didst take,
And shed it all for me:
O blessed be my Saviour’s Blood,
My life, my light, my only good,
To all eternity.
Frederick William Faber (1814-1863)

HAIL JESUS HAIL
To endless ages let us praise
The Precious Blood
whose price could raise
The world from wrath and sin;
Whose streams
our inward thirst appease,
And heal the sinner’s worst disease,
If he but bathe therein.
Frederick William Faber (1814-1863)

HAIL JESUS HAIL
O sweetest Blood,
that can implore
Pardon of God, and heaven restore,
The heaven which sin had lost:
While Abel’s blood
for vengeance pleads,
What Jesus shed still intercedes
For those who wrong him most.
Frederick William Faber (1814-1863)

HAIL JESUS HAIL
O to be sprinkled from the wells
Of Christ’s own
sacred Blood, excels
Earth’s best and highest bliss:
The ministers of wrath divine
Hurt not the happy hearts
that shine
With those red drops of His!
Frederick William Faber (1814-1863)

HAIL JESUS HAIL
Ah! there is joy amid the Saints,
And hell’s despairing courage faints
When this sweet song we raise:
O louder then, and louder still,
Earth with one mighty chorus fill,
The Precious Blood to praise!
