Blessed Be The Name


Blessed Be the Name 

By. Charles Wesley 

All praise to Him Who reigns above

In majesty supreme,

Who gave His Son for man to die,

That He might man redeem!

 
Refrain

Bless’d be the Name! Bless’d be the Name!

Bless’d be the Name of the Lord!

Bless’d be the Name! Bless’d be the Name!

Bless’d 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.

 
 
 
The Bible contains so many names that apply to Jesus!

 
This hymn contains but a few of the title/names that apply to our….

Redeemer – Isaiah 59:20

Saviour – 1 John 4:14

Friend – Matthew 11:19

Counselor – Isaiah 9:6

Prince of Peace – Isaiah 9:6

Conqueror – While the Bible does not use this word to describe Jesus the definition fits. He is and will be the Victor over Satan; He will be the “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”  (Revelation 19:16)



    But the name that is above every name, the name at which every knee shall bow is the name of Jesus. Philippians 2:9-11 says “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

 

It brings glory to God when the name of His Son is praised, which is a reminder to praise Jesus daily!!!
