474 - 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.
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 every snare;
If
temptations round you gather,
Breathe
that holy name in prayer.
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 heaven we’ll crown Him,
When
our journey is complete.
