Text: | Take the Name of Jesus With You |
Author: | Mrs. Lydia Baxter |
Tune: | PRECIOUS NAME |
Composer: | W. H. Doane |
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.
Chorus:
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n.
2 Take the name of Jesus ever
As a guard from ev'ry snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer. [Chorus]
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! [Chorus]
4 At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of kings in heav'n we'll hail Him,
When our journey is complete. [Chorus]
