A few weeks ago I wrote a blog entry on the name of Jesus. I was thinking about that again today, in church, when this hymn started running through my head. The "Christmas connection" came from the words "Who gave His Son"—it was through that virgin birth that Jesus Christ came to earth to "die" and "redeem" mankind: Us.
Contemplate that, please: The most sinless Being in the entire universe came to earth, as a baby, to be born to die for you! Blessed be His Name, indeed!!
Blessed Be The Name
All praise to Him Who reigns above
In majesty supreme,
Who gave His Son for man to die,
That He might man redeem!
Refrain
Blessed be the Name! Blessed be the Name!
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!
Blessed be the Name! Blessed be the Name!
Blessed 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.
Refrain
