   Refrain:
     Blessèd be the name, blessèd be the name

         Blessèd be the name of the Lord!

 2.  Jesus the name that calms our fears,

 3.  He breaks the pow'r of cancelled sin;
         Blessèd be the name of the Lord!
     His blod can make the foulest clean.
         Blessèd be the name of the Lord!

 4.  I never shall forget that day
         Blessèd be the name of the Lord!
     When Jesus washed my sins away.
         Blessèd be the name of the Lord!
