Take the name of Jesus with you
Child of sorrow and of woe;
It will joy and comfort give you--
Take it then wherever you go.
[Chorus:]
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
Take the name of Jesus ever,
As a shield from every snare;
If temptations around you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
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!
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at his feet,
King of kings in heaven we'll [praise] him
When our journey is complete.
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
