308. 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!

[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!

2 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! [Refrain]

3 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
Blessed be etc.
His blood can make the foulest clean,
Blessed be etc.

4 I never shall forget that day,
Blessed be etc.
When Jesus washed my sins away,
Blessed be etc.
