Blessed Be the Name: A Deep Meditation on the Name Above All Names | Christian Instrumental

Share!

Experience the triumphant and restorative spirit of “Blessed Be the Name” (also known as All Praise to Him Who Reigns Above) in this majestic instrumental arrangement. This rendition is crafted to provide a worshipful atmosphere for reflection, centering on the supreme majesty and redeeming love of Jesus Christ.

The Scriptural Foundation
This hymn is a powerful melodic echo of the biblical promise that the name of Jesus is exalted above every other. It reflects the prophetic titles found in Isaiah 9:6:
“And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
The lyrics celebrate Christ as the “Redeemer, Savior, and Friend,” reminding the believer that His reign is eternal and His salvation plan is perfect.

The Story Behind the Hymn
Written in the late 19th century, “Blessed Be the Name” is the result of a powerful collaboration between William H. Clark and the prolific hymn-writer and publisher Ralph E. Hudson. While Clark penned the verses focusing on the theological depth of Christ’s reign, it was Hudson who added the iconic, rhythmic refrain that transformed the song into a staple of revival meetings.
The hymn was designed to move a congregation from quiet reflection on God’s “majesty supreme” to a bold, joyous proclamation of His Name. For over a century, it has served as a bridge between high-church liturgy and the fervent energy of gospel praise.

All praise to Him who reigns above
In majesty supreme,
Who gave His Son for man to die
That He might man redeem.

Blessèd be the Name, blessèd be the Name,
Blessèd be the Name of the Lord;
Blessèd be the Name, blessèd be the Name,

His Name above all names shall stand,
Exalted more and more,
At God the Father’s own right hand,
Where angel hosts adore.

Redeemer, Savior, Friend of man,
Once ruined by the fall,
Thou hast devised salvation’s plan,
For Thou hast died for all.

Of all earth’s kingdoms Conqueror,
Whose reign shall never cease.
