LyicsTAKE 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.-CHO.
CHO.-Precious name,
O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven:
Precious name,
O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
Take the name of Jesus ever,
As a shield from every snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.-CHO.
O the precious name of Jesus,
How it thrills our souls with joy,
When his loving arms receive us,
And his songs our tongues employ!-CHO.
At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at his feet,
King of kings, in heaven we'll crown him,
When our journey is complete.-CHO.
