Take the Name of Jesus With You
No. 601Take 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.
Refrain:
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
Precious name, O how sweet, how sweet!
Take the name of Jesus ever,
As a shield from every snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.
Refrain:
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
Precious name, O how sweet, how sweet!
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!
Refrain:
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
Precious name, O how sweet, how sweet!
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.
Refrain:
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
Precious name, O how sweet, how sweet!
Amen.
