BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD

(G)If you don't love your sister,
Don't (C)spread her name a- (G)broad.
Blessed be the (C)Name of the (D7)Lord!
Just (G)hold her in your bosom,
And (C)carry her home to (G)God.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

CHORUS
(G)Blessed be the (G7)Name, (C)blessed be the (G)Name,
Blessed be the (C)Name of the (D7)Lord.
(G)Blessed be the (G7)Name, (C)blessed be the (G)Name,
Blessed be the (D7)Name of the (G)Lord. (C, G)
