Blessed be the name of the Lord,
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
Blessed be the name of the Lord:
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
‘Tis manna to the hungry soul,
Blessed be the name of the Lord:
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
‘Tis manna to the hungry soul,
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
3 By Thee my pray’rs acceptance gain,
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
And Evil tempts my soul in vain,
Blessed be the name of the Lord:
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
And Evil tempts my soul in vain,
Blessed be the name of the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: [How sweet the name of Jesus sounds]
