Glory be to Jesus

A very interesting piece. A prayer song indeed!

(Heb. 10:29; 13:20 2. “The blood of the covenant”;

“The blood of an eternal covenant”).

The blood of the Lord not only redeems us from our sins, but it also establishes a covenant with us that requires God to forgive our sins, grace us, and accomplish all His promises to us. Thus, the blood of the Lord is not only redeeming blood but also the blood of the covenant. The Lord’s blood established a new covenant for us, an eternal covenant. Therefore, this blood is called the blood of an eternal covenant. The new covenant cannot be annulled, because the Lord’s blood is eternally efficacious; it is not a temporary covenant established by the blood of calves and goats, which was effective only in type for a time.

All the grace and blessings given to us by God are included in the new covenant and are given to us in the execution of the new covenant. This new covenant has been established and is efficacious because the Lord shed His blood through death, fully satisfying God’s righteous requirement. This means that God must grace us. Thus, the Lord’s blood established a new covenant for us and made this new covenant efficacious.

THE MEANS FOR RECEIVING ETERNAL LIFE

1. “Jesus therefore said... He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life”(John 6:53-54).

Because the Lord’s blood washed us of our sins, it enabled us to obtain God’s holy life, which is God Himself as the eternal life. God gives us His eternal life because the Lord shed His blood for us. The Lord’s blood is the means for us to receive God’s eternal life.

Crucial Truths in the Holy Scriptures, Volume 4

Chapter 39 CWWL, 1932–1949, vol. 4 (LSM)

The hymnal editions I’m using omit verses 4&5, in an effort, I believe, to emphasize God’s action through the sacrificial love/blood of Jesus rather than our human sin (vengeance, etc).

Lovely hymn to sing at the Lord's table. Praising Him for His redemption

This one of my dad's favorite Catholic hymn's. His name is Sir Bertrand Igbokwe and he is 104yrs and has an awesome voice even in his old age. He remembered a few lines and I googled the enter hymn and was too happy to get all the lyrics plus the tune.

Dad sang it so many times. Thank you so much and God bless you all Amen.

Great old hymn.

Praise God

Fabulous hymn! One of my favorites!!! 🌷❤

One of my grandfather's favorites. My mother just told me and sang what she could remember to me. My grandfather loved to sing the hymns. We miss him but have these fond memories. Thank God.

Best song ever!!
