[Verse 1]
If you don't like your sister, don't you carry her name abroad
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Yes, take her in your bosom and carry her home to God
Blessed be the name of the Lord

[Chorus]
Oh, blessed be the name
Blessed be the name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Oh, blessed be the name
Blessed be the name
Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord

[Verse 2]
If you don't like your brother, don't you carry the name abroad
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Just take him in your bosom and carry him home to God
Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord

[Chorus]
If you don't like your preacher, don't you carry his name abroad
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Just take him in your bosom and carry him home to God
Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord
[Verse 3]
If you don't like your deacon, don't you carry his name abroad
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Just take him in your bosom and carry him home to God
Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord
