228. The 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 heav'n,
Precious name, O how sweet,
Hope of earth and joy of heav'n.

2 Take the name of Jesus ever,
As a shield from ev'ry snare;
If temptations 'round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in pray'r. [Refrain]

3 Oh! 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]
