Blessed Be the Name

1 O for a thousand tongues to sing -  
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!  
The glories of my God and King -  
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!  

Refrain:  
Blessed be the Name, blessed be the Name;  
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!  
Blessed be the Name, blessed be the Name;  
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!  

2 Jesus, the Name that charms our fears -  
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!  
'Tis music in the sinner's ears -  
Blessed be the Name of the Lord! [Refrain]  

3 He breaks the power of cancelled sin -  
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!  
His blood can make the foulest clean -  
Blessed be the Name of the Lord! [Refrain]  

4 I never shall forget that day -  
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!  
When Jesus washed my sins away -  
Blessed be the Name of the Lord. [Refrain]
