O Praise The Name


Verse 1

I cast my mind to Calvary

Where Jesus bled and died for me

I see His wounds, His hands, His feet

My Saviour on that cursed tree

 

Verse 2

His body bound and drenched in tears

They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb.

The entrance sealed by heavy stone

Messiah still and all alone

 

Chorus

O praise the name of the Lord our God

O praise His name forevermore

For endless days we will sing Your praise

Oh Lord, oh Lord our God 

 

Verse 3

Then on the third at break of dawn

The Son of Heaven rose again

O trampled death, where is your sting? 

The angels roar for Christ the King

 

Verse 4

He shall return in robes of white

The blazing sun shall pierce the night

And I will rise among the saints

My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face
