Take the name of Jesus with you

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! Oh

how sweet!

Hope of earth and joy of heav’n;

Precious name! Oh

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.

Oh

the precious name of Jesus

How it thrills our souls with joy;

All the favor of the Father

In this name we may enjoy.

At the name of Jesus bowing

Falling prostrate at His feet

Claim His vict’ry over evil

And the enemy defeat.
