     Bless�d be the name, bless�d be the name

 3.  He breaks the pow'r of cancelled sin;
         Bless�d be the name of the Lord!
     His blod can make the foulest clean.
         Bless�d be the name of the Lord!

 4.  I never shall forget that day
         Bless�d be the name of the Lord!
     When Jesus washed my sins away.
