35. 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!

Chorus:
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 calm my fears.
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
'Tis music in the sinners' ears
Blessed be the name of the Lord! [Chorus]

3 He breaks the power of canceled sin
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
His blood can make the foulest clean.
Blessed be the name of the Lord! [Chorus]
