Author: Mrs. Lydia Baxter, 1806-1874 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #37 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with chorus Lyrics: 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, oh, how sweet,
Hope of earth and joy of heaven!
Precious Name, oh, 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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
Amen. Topics: New Year Languages: English Tune Title: TAKE THE NAME
