  1. 1Forever here my rest shall be,
  2. Close to thy bleeding side;
  3. This all my hope and all my plea
  4. For me the Saviour died.
  5. Blessed be the name,

  8. Blessed be the name,
  9. Blessed be the name,
  10. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
  11. 2My dying Saviour and my God,
  12. Fountain for guilt and sin,

  14. And cleanse and keep me clean.
