This song was inspired by Psalm 113:3
THE NAME OF THE LORD IS TO BE PRAISED
From the first light of morning
To the glow of setting sun,
The name of the Lord is to be praised.
From the heights of distant mountains
To the end of rivers’ run,
The name of the Lord is to be praised.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord
From this time forth and forever.
Forevermore.
From the plain village houses
To great palaces of gold,
The name of the Lord is to be praised.
In the songs of little children
And the prayers of saints grown old,
The name of the Lord is to be praised.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord
From this time forth and forever,
Forevermore.
From the time of a new birth
Till the end of earthly days,
The name of the Lord is to be praised.
And the Lord takes great delight in
One who trusts him and obeys,
For the name of the Lord is to be praised.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord
From this time forth and forever,
Forevermore.
