Lyrics

All praise to Him who reigns ab­ove
In ma­jes­ty su­preme,
Who gave His Son for man to die,
That He might man re­deem!

Refrain

Blessèd be the name! Bless­èd be the name!
Blessèd be the name of the Lord!
Blessèd be the name! Bless­èd be the name!
Blessèd be the name of the Lord!

His name above all names shall stand,
Exalted more and more,
At God the Fa­ther’s own right hand,
Where an­gel hosts adore.

Refrain

Redeemer, Sav­ior, friend of man
Once ru­ined by the fall,
Thou hast de­vised sal­va­tion’s plan,
For Thou hast died for all.

Refrain

His name shall be the coun­sel­or,
The migh­ty Prince of Peace,
Of all earth’s king­doms con­quer­or,
Whose reign shall ne­ver cease.
