"Blessed Be the Name"

[Nelson Bradford]

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!

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!

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!

- Charles Wesley, 1739, refrain, Ralph E. Hudson, 1887
