Lyrics

Jesus washed my sins away,
Blessèd be His name for­ev­er;
Jesus taught me how to pray,
Blessèd be His name for­ev­er.

Refrain

Never will I cease to love Him,
Never will I cease to praise Him;
Never will I cease to love Him,
Because He first loved me.

Jesus’ blood has made me whole,
Blessèd be His name for­ev­er;
There is glo­ry in my soul,
Blessèd be His name for­ev­er.

Refrain

What a gift of grace di­vine,
Blessèd be His name for­ev­er;
I am His and He is mine,
Blessèd be His name for­ev­er.

Refrain

There’s a crown laid up for me,
Blessèd be His name for­ev­er;
Soon my Sav­ior I shall see,
Blessèd be His name for­ev­er.
