68. Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing

1 Oh, 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 charms our fears,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
'Tis music in the sinner's ear,
Blessed be the name of the Lord! [Chorus]

3 He breaks the pow'r of cancelled sin,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
His blood can make the foulest clean,
Blessed be the name of the Lord! [Chorus]

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! [Chorus]
