Blessed be the Name of the Lord,
The glories of my God and King -
Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

'Tis music in the sinner's ears -
Blessed e the Name of the Lord.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord,
His blood can make the foulest clean -
Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord,
When Jesus washed my sins away -
Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

By: Psalter Hymnal (Gray)
Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!
My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honors of your name.
The name of Jesus charms our fears
and bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life and health and peace.
He breaks the power of canceled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean;
his blood avails for me.
He speaks, and, listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive;
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice;
the humble poor believe.
Hear him, you deaf; you voiceless ones,
your loosened tongues employ;
you blind, behold your Savior come;
and leap, you lame, for joy!
To God all glory, praise, and love
be now and ever given
by saints below and saints above,
the church in earth and heaven.
