Truth in Song ‎#37

37. Bless His Name

1 When my heart a burden bears,
This I know,—my Jesus cares,
And the greater weight he shares,
Bless his name!

Refrain:
Bless his name!
Bless his name!
For the love he bore to me,
Jesus died on Calvary,
Bless his name!
Bless his name!

2 When I’m tried on every hand,
Jesus gives me grace to stand;
For by him my way is planned,
Bless his name! [Refrain]

3 All my hopes for gain are gone,
Earthly prospects I have none,
But I know I’m not alone,
Bless his name! [Refrain]

4 Jesus loves me, I repeat,
In his love I’m all complete,
While I keep low at his feet,
Bless his name! [Refrain]
