31. Blessed Be The Name

1 All praise to Him who reigns above,
In majesty supreme,
Who gave His Son for man to die,
That He might man redeem!

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 His name above all names shall stand,
Exalted more and more,
At God the Father's own right hand,
Where angel hosts adore. [Chorus]

3 Redeemer, Savior, Friend of man
Once ruined by the fall,
Thou hast devised salvation's plan,
For Thou hast died for all. [Chorus]

4 His name shall be the Counsellor,
The mighty Prince of Peace,
Of all earth's kingdoms, Conqueror,
Whose reign shall never cease. [Chorus]
