Hail, Rock of Ages

(From the Hymn "There is an everlasting home" No. 69) M. Bridges Nicola A. Montani

Moderato (alla breve)

1.

Hail, Rock of Ages, pierced for me, The grave of all my pride: Hope, peace and heav'n are all in Thee, Thy shelt'ring Side.



2.

There issued forth a double flood The sin atoning tide, In streams of water and of blood From that dear Side.

3.

There is the only fount of bliss, In joy and sorrow tried; No refuge for the heart like this A Saviour's Side.

4.

There is the golden gate of heav'n, An entrance for the Bride, Where the sweet crown of life is giv'n, Through Jesus' Side.

THE PRECIOUS BLOOD

Hail, Jesus, hail!

(Viva! Viva! Gesu)

From the Italian by Father Faber Nicola A. Montani

Con Spirito

1.

Hail, Jesus, hail! Who for my sake Sweet Blood from Mary's veins didst take, And shed it all for me; Oh, blessed by my Saviour's Blood, My life, my light, my only good, To all eternity, To all eternity.

2.

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, If he but bathe therein.

3.

Oh, to be sprinkled from the wells Of Christ's own Sacred Blood, Excels Earth's best and highest bliss: Oh ministers of wrath divine Hurt not the happy hearts that s.h.i.+ne With those red drops of His, With those red drops of His.

4.

Ah! There is joy amid the saints, And h.e.l.l's despairing courage faints When this sweet song we raise: Oh louder then, and louder still, Earth with one mighty chorus fill, The Precious Blood to praise, The Precious Blood to praise.

THE PRECIOUS BLOOD

Glory be to Jesus (Viva! Viva! Gesu)

See also Hymn No. 18 Tr. Rev. E. Caswall Nicola A. Montani

Allegro modto

1.

Glory be to Jesus, Who in bitter pains Poured for me the life-blood From His Sacred Veins.

Grace and life eternal In that Blood I find; Blest be His compa.s.sion, Infinitely kind!

2.

Blest thro' endless ages Be the precious stream, Which from endless torment Doth the world redeem!

There the fainting spirit Drinks of life her fill; There, as in a fountain, Laves herself at will.

3.

Abel's Blood for vengeance Pleading 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.

4.

Oft as earth exulting Wafts its praise on high, h.e.l.l with terror trembles, Heav'n is filled with joy.

Lift ye, then, your voices, Swell the mighty flood; Louder still, and louder Praise the Precious Blood.
