Author: Lydia Baxter Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #218 (1980) Refrain First Line: Precious name, O how sweet! 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, 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 every 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 crown Him,
When our journey is complete. (Chorus) Topics: Admonition; Christ Name; Admonition; Christ Name Scripture: Colossians 3:17 Languages: English Tune Title: [Take the name of Jesus with you]
