Verse 1
Take the name of Jesus with you,
Child of sorrow and of woe;
It will joy and comfort give you-
Take it then where’er you go.
Precious name… oh, how, sweet!…
Hope of earth and joy of heav’n;
Precious name… oh, how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
Verse 2
Take the name of Jesus ever
As a shield from ev’ry snare;
If temptations round you gather
Breathe that holy name in prayer,
Verse 3
Oh, the precious name of Jesus!
How it thrills our souls with joy,
When His loving arms receive us,
And His songs our tongues employ!
Verse 4
At the name of Jesus bowing,
Failing prostrate at His feet;
King of Kings in heav’n we’ll
crown Him,
When our journey is complete.
