Precious Name

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.

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.

Take the name of Je­sus ever

As a shield from ev­ery snare;

If temp­ta­tions round you ga­ther

Breathe that ho­ly name in pray­er.

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!

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.
