1 Come, let us sing redeeming love,
Blessed be the name of the Lord;
Sing with the raptured hosts above,
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Chorus:
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice,
Praise ye the Lord, rejoice, rejoice!
Come, let us sing in sweet accord,
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

2 He hid me in the living Rock,
Blessed be the name of the Lord;
And leads me with his happy flock,
Blessed be the name of the Lord. [Chorus]

3 He put this song within my soul,
Blessed be the name of the Lord;
Let heavenly hallelujahs roll,
Blessed be the name of the Lord. [Chorus]
