Take the Name of Jesus With You

 
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.

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.

3 

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!

4 

At the name of Jesus bowing,

Falling prostrate at His feet,

King of kings, in Heav'n we'll crown Him,

When our journey is complete.

Refrain:

Precious name, O how sweet!

Hope of earth and joy of heaven;

Precious name, O how sweet!

Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
