42. Precious Name

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.

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.

2 Take the name of Jesus ever,
As a shield from every snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer. [Refrain]

3 O the precious name of Jesus;
How it thrills my heart with joy,
When his loving arms receive us,
And his songs our tongues employ. [Refrain]

4 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]
