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!!!
