Hymn Lyrics: By The Blood That Flowed From Thee | Lent 

1. By the blood that flowed from thee

In thy bitter agony;

By the traitor’s guileful kiss

filling up bitterness.

Jesus saviour, hear our cry;

Thou wert suffering once as we;

Now enthroned in majesty

Countless angels sing to thee.

2. By the cords that round thee cast

Bound thee to the pillar fast.

By the scourge so meekly borne

By the purple robe of scorn

3. By the thorns that crowned thy head

By the scepter of a reed;

By the foes on bending knee

By the purple robe of scorn

4. By the peoples’ cruel jeers;

By the holy women’s tears;

By the footsteps, faint and slow

weighed beneath thy cross of woe.

5. By thy weeping mother’s woe

By the sword that pierced her

through

When in anguish standing by,

On the cross she saw thee die.
