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.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 prayer. [Refrain]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.4 At the name of Jesus bowing,Falling prostrate at His feet;King of kings in heav'n we'll crown Him,When our journey is complete.
